APPLICATION & MAINTENANCE
Best results are obtained when the finish is applied to surfaces which are 60 o F. or
warmer. Remove old finish or wax with one of Perma's high quality finish strippers. Mop or
vacuum up the stripping solution and rinse floor thoroughly with clean water. Optimum
appearance and gloss is obtained with five coats of finish. Apply thin even coats,
allowing the finish to dry depending on humidity and temperature for approximately 30-45
minutes between coats.
Effective recoating of existing finish may be achieved by vacuuming or dry mopping the
floor to remove any loose dirt or dust. Wash the floor with #127 Tops Neutral Cleaner to
remove fine dirt and soil, and allow it to dry. Apply thin even coats, allowing the finish
to dry for approximately 30-45 minutes between coats.
A routine maintenance program will provide the most satisfactory gloss retention and wear
characteristics in any floor coating. Floor surfaces should be vacuumed, or swept with a
clean dry mop treated with #135 Aqua Treat, water based mop treatment, daily to remove
abrasive loose dirt and sand. Damp mop floors with #127 Tops Neutral Cleaner every two or
three days to remove soil, salt, and film deposits which can degrade a coatings gloss.
Perma product #66 High Speed Maintainer may be periodically substituted for neutral
cleaner, and high speed burnished to restore finish gloss. Floors may also be buffed or
high speed burnished to restore the gloss and extend the time between recoating. Use #6
One Step Spray Buff for standard speed buffers (175-300 Rpm), or #68 Cream Buff for
high-speed and ultra-high-speed burnishing machines (1000-3000 Rpm).
