A nyone recommend a terry or microfibre pad to use to buff a wood floor up and get rid of residue and final traces of dirt following spray /buff clean with red pad?
I wasnt happy with the results just spray buffing so experimented with a terry towel under the pad and it buffed it up nicely.

Try using a Blue or White floor pad. These are less aggresive and designed for polishing. Failing that Prochem do a microfibre pad or as you have found just use a couple of terry towels.

What sort of wood floor Mike, has it been polished or Bournesealed?

One of the biggest problems when using spray and buff is making the solution too strong, the stuff I use dilutes down to about 50:1.

I thought the 3M tan coloured pads were the right ones for wood

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
This floor is in a new nightclub only been down less  than a year- oak block finished with Lecol 2 part PU finish.By the time I was asked to look at it they'd used a citra clean product which  had'nt done the finish any good and caused a residue problem.I gave it a good clean last friday and applied 2 coats of Bona freshen up to revive the finish. Although they now use microfibre mops and twin bucket system the hammer it gets over a weekend makes it a nightmare to clean. Its the sticky alchohol thats the problem.
Hence my experimenting.They mopped the floor after the weekend but when I went in today it was a mess.I will try a tan pad , but how much crud can these absorb. Might even try a microfibre cloth tucked round a pad to shine it up.
Dont really want to go down the wax polish maintainer route as it will hinder any top coat application without sanding back.
Thanks,
Mike
