    I use anywhere between 3 to 6 coats of wax on tile after a sealer is put down first. It all depends on how many you really want. With six coats I can usually just come back after 6 months and use a buffer with a burnishing pad to bring back the shine without needing to restrip and wax again. I would recommend stripping and rewax at least once a year. I have never put wax on tile so I wouldn’t begin to even try to give you advice on that. I am sorry. But thanks for the comment. Have a great night.

    After I strip the floor the T3 floor machine sucks up all stripper and old wax. After that process is done we do mop the floor again with hot water and soap. We let that dry then a 20/20 sealant is sprayed down and ran over with the buffer before any wax is applied.

    I agree. Those edges needed a putty knife to them and the whole floor needed a second strip. Also, the floors needed a neutralizer applied and then a water only rinse. I also cringed when he was wearing the same shoes for waxing that he was using for stripping. Waxing is important, but the stripping is the most important part.

    Somebody that strip and wax floors like myself that's a pretty sloppy job I wouldn't be proud to put that on KZread stripper on a dirty floor without dust mopping mopping picking dirt and debris before you throw stripper on the floor and if there's any entry's seal them off with tape and floor mats then start your stripping process

    Lol I don’t show the process of sweeping and mopping the floors before I showed how to strip and wax the floors. Sloppy??? Lol I think not. If you strip and wax floors for a living then you must be doing floors that aren’t that old. The last time this floor was done it had been 10 years with cabinets and desk sitting in the same spot. So the tile was stained through the old wax. You don’t see the entrance to the room due to the fact that it’s a factory that I couldn’t show on video for privacy policy’s. But yes there was a floor mat on the outside before stepping in. And you go ahead and use tape to seal off whatever you like. I will continue to use my splash Gaurd for less labor. That’s for the comment though. My haters are always my biggest fans and somehow always seems to know more then me about my job. Lol have a great one.
