I was cleaning the carpets in the house with our Hoover steam vac this morning...the small rugs were laid out on the garage floor. I noticed that the hardwood floors in the kitchen, dinign room and entry hall looked a little "dull".



I washed the floors, then put a coat of of Meguiar`s wax from an old bottle that I had tucked away in my detailing supplies on them using my orbital (a GEM polisher..it weighs 18 pounds), then buffed off the residue with an old terry towel. I followed it with a hand application of Butcher`s Paste floor wax...one word....



Nice!!! :xyxthumbs



I know that there are Autopians who wax, Klasse and Zaino their appliances, computers and toilets... does anyone do their hardwood floors?

Hehe it was raining last weekend and I used DACP and #26 on our refridgerator with a rotary... Bling Bling! hehe... Needed to practice on vertical surfaces with a rotary anyway...



I`m thinking of wet sanding it a bit, it has one hella orangepeel with those refs...:D

I used some Mothers cleaner/wax on a Maytag refigerator door on a brand new black side-by-side, as the installers tried three doors and a bunch of products on it to remove a haze. After they left, good and frustrated as we all were, I took the PC and some Mothers to it.... Perfect! :D The service tech was desperate to know the secret..... maybe I will tell him one day!!

I now use Klasse AIO on marble and granite. Not on any stone younger though (like limestone) because they are too porous.
