    The "Future acrylic floor finish" they used to sell in the 1970s aged the same way. You couldn't just let it build up because it absorbed dirt and looked dingy on the patterned vinyl floors that were popular back then, but when you stripped it off, it turned to the same Cream of Wheat mush we saw here.

    Well, that solves it, we won’t be putting wood floors in our house after all. I like the the glossy wood look and if all it’s gonna do is ruin the floor and I have to keep getting it finished to keep it glossy overtime. I’d rather just get tile. wood sucks.

    @@everythingyousayiscorrect This isn't really a wood floor and people probably put this stuff on to make it look less fake, and it works at first. The problem it that the fake finish (aluminum oxide, I believe) is so tough that nothing sticks to it for long. Real wood floors have some kind of varnish (usually polyurethane) that won't do this, but it does eventually get scratched up and needs some kind of refinishing. It's fine for a living room or bedroom, but I wouldn't want it in a kitchen.

    I am trying to do the exact same thing. After spraying the Unitex down and leaving it for a few minutes(as you did), it seems to be much harder to get off than what I see in your video. Looks as though the wax is breaking down much easier than what I am experiencing - its as though there is gum stuck to the floor. The microfiber flat mops aren't collecting any of the wax at all either. Any recommendations?

    They did the same thing in the apartment where I live. E erytime someone moved they poured more froor wax on the floor, over top of food crumbs, hair, etc. I am having a heck of a time cleaning up the mess. Also if I mop the floor wiyh floor cleaner, it reactivates the wax and it becomes extremely slippery.
