With respect John its not supposed to have a shine is it?
Its supposed to be a satin finish, both the Karndean and Amtico finish are satin and not gloss.
I have a customer with 400m2 of it in a massive house and I allways use Karndeans Dimglow and I allways use a green pad to get the crud off. Looks great when its done and they are so pleased they have me in twice a year as Karndean recommend.
Just by a pure fluke did a spot removal for a custy passed on by a carpet shop last month, saw they had Karndean down, got talking about it and he gave me 2 bungalows of over 70m2 to do for him. Whoopee!
But I allways use Karndeans own product 'Dimglow' and Amtico (ok Johnsons in a bottle if its been down a few years), on new floors, if there is a prob with fitting etc and they go back to manufacurer, they send a rep out and the floor is glossy they will just walk and say thats the wrong finish, end of.
If a floor has been down for a few years and its grotty I offer them the 'Flash advert look' all glossy but they mostly say they prefer the way it should be, satin.
