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.
