VCT newbie

[Randydaniel18]

Hey everyone,

I haven't done any VCT stripping and waxing in 15 years since high school.

What wax is good to use with a 20inch rotary machine with speeds of 175RPM and 300rpm?

What about strippers?

Thanks!

I was considering using Johnson Vectra floor finish as a wax. Good or bad?

Johnson products are very good, might as well buy the stripper also.

Vectra is good i used to like timesaver better but that is semantics.

for buffing/burnishing????

not that type of machine....get a propane burnisher

unless you wanna go real old school and spray buff....which is fine if working by the hr....

I'm not going to be doing big jobs. Most jobs I do will be less than 1000 sq feet.

So that's why I was considering using the unipro floor 20 inch rotary.

then get an electric high speed....

rotarys do not provide enough speed for this....and thus will only cause swirl marks...

thats if its for burnishing.....

now stripping, well yes of course a 175 is used....

just making sure we are on the same page
