Is it as easy to maintain as the video shows?

It says you can buff it without Acrylic wax to improve the shine

It's offered in two versions, one that needs to be waxed, which acts as a sacrificial layer just like with VCT and one that needs no coating.

The 2nd option is easy to clean and good for areas that wont see heavy equipment or sharp legged items. Scratches need someone with stone polishing skills to remove just like one would with marble, take it down and build back the proper look with a series of DIPs. Which will almost always require the whole area to be worked.

None of my IICRC inspector pals like it

I've scrubbed and buffed it as one off builders clean, it looked "ok"

dont think it would of maintained any shine for long, it didnt have any depth to the look
