rotary scrubber with red or blue pads
wet vac
clean mops to rinse and apply finish - make sure you wash em first to get the lint out
floor finish - various makes and gloss levels.
My preference is Chemspec Tight Shine as it is urethane fortified and VERY fast drying but there are hundreds out there.

oh... use a neutral cleaner to prep the floor and rinse mop with fresh water.

Vinyl isn't porous. It doesn't need sealer. You would only use acrylic finish on this.

Now I see so its actual just a finish as opposed to a sealer as such,because obviously nothing will permiate the vynl thanks
