FLOOR FINISH CLASSIFICATIONS 1) A “self polish” (drybrite) floor system is ideal for areas where the use of a floor machine is not practical or unavailable. The surface is maintained by dust-mopping and spot or damp mopping. When the floor begins to show signs of wear, a thorough cleaning and rinsing will prepare the recoat. The worn area is  “touched-up” with an additional coat of finish to restore its gloss. This system requires periodic stripping to renew the floor. 2) Spray buffing is designed to clean, remove heel marks, repair, and improve the gloss of floor finishes. It is very important to have a strong base of finishing with which to work. The basic concept is to maintain the floor finish film with a buffer (175 rpm) and a spray buff chemical that will remove the light soil-load and polish the floor in one step. A heavy soil-load will require pre-cleaning to prevent dirt from being spray-buffed into the floor finish. Spray-buffed floors should be heavily scrubbed and rinsed prior to recoating. 3) High speed burnishing using electric buffers (1100 rpm) has become a standard method of floor maintenance, and produces the very popular “wet look”. Burnishing is a polishing process and is not designed to clean floors. Pre-cleaning of floors is necessary prior to high speed burnishing. As with spray buffing, it is necessary to have a strong base of floor finish to maintain. The use or a thermally responsive floor finish will produce better results. Spray buff compounds and mop and buff restorers are also suitable in a high-speed burnishing maintenance system. 4) Ultra high speed burnishing using propane, battery, or an electric buffer (1500 – 2500 rpm) has become the quintessential floor maintenance system. More than any other floor care system, ultra high speed burnishing requires the proper selection of floor finish, floor restorer, pad, machine, and cleaners. The system is based on the use of a thermally responsive floor finish burnished with ultra high-speed machines. Gloss can be appreciably enhanced with mop and buff restorer. Cleaning and buffing compounds are also adaptable. Ultra high speed burnishing is not a cleaning process and requires cleaning prior to use. This is the ultimate “wet look” process.
