The liquid wax products sold for home use tend to shine without buffing. Some commercial waxes claim to.
Paste wax, used on floor, always requires a buffing. Paste wax is not compatible with modern uethrane finishes.
Yeah, I had liquid in mind, though. As much as I actually like to polish things, this doesn't so much apply to doing it on hands and knees.
Actually, it looks OK being dullish, this floor, so I'm not going for like turbo-shiny anyway: I'd just like to even it out and make it easier to keep clean. It does seem a little porous in places.
Beats the no-wax floor I had in the last place, though: that was torture to even try to keep clean.
And... I totally forgot to look at what they had at the home center yesterday. I was really tired and had a lot of different little things to pick out. (Gotta love home center gift cards: my sweetie gets them as credit card incentives, and I can be relatively worry-free spending on projects and my often-struggling sense of houseproudness.
) But I go there relatively-often, and I usually pass it when I do other errands, so I guess that's OK.
I suppose I brought home enough projects for the day, anyway, making this place more snug for the winter and a bit more civilized to visit.
(It's winterizin' time: especially my first winter in a place, there's always a lot of draft-controlling to do.
Doors that aren't square to their frames are always a big pain to try and weatherstrip. I rather wish the copper stuff weren't so expensive, these days.
