There are two kinds of solvent-
base wax: paste wax and liquid
polishing wax.
Paste wax
To spread wax evenly, attach
scrubbing-waxing-polishing
brushes to shampoo-polisher, then
snap on cleaning-waxing pads.
Spread a thin coat of wax on
pads or spread a small amount on
floor with spatula. Start by mov-
ing control button to “SCRUB-
POLISH-SHAMPOO”. Apply wax
to floor, by guiding in straight
lines or with grain of the wood,
until wax is spread evenly.
Liquid polishing wax
This type of wax is used to clean
as well as wax floors. Apply wax
according to instructions on the
container.
Use shampoo-polisher
only to polish floors when this
type of wax is used.
Refer to
section “Cleaning floors
-
Solvent
cleaning wax method”.
Polishing and
buffing floors
Floors waxed with
solvent-base
wax may be polished and buffed
with the shampoo-polisher.
1. Be sure wax is thoroughly dry
before polishing. This usually
takes 20-30 minutes but may take
longer in damp weather.
2. Use scrubbing-waxing-polish-
ing brushes to polish floor. Move
the control button to “SCRUB-
POLISH-SHAMPOO”. Guide
shampoo-polisher in straight lines
or with the grain of the wood.
3. A double coat of wax will give
floors more protection. Let wax
dry thoroughly and polish after
each application.
