You need to find out what -if anything- the tiles are treated with. I worked in a shop that had vinyl tiles that had NOTHING on them, the floor was just washed x2 a week with warm soapy water and then buffed with a red pad on a standard speed buffing machine. The shine had to be seen to be belived and like i say this was with no product.

H/S BUFFER?

High Speed buffer.

You can get standard, slow, high, ultra high. etc , all the same machine BUT when they are built they are made to work at a certain speed. The speed of the machine needs to be matched to the type of work that you do - thats as much as i can tell you as i can never recall what speed is best for wat as its not something i really need to know for the work i do.

Cheers

Think the average HS is 400 then it jumps up to 1000 and above (defiantly not a side to side)

Bit like the army left right or is it up down. Grab hold of one and don’t forget to let go, strait liners bit like driving a car.

By the way have had great feed back never been washed
