Paul,

 

The # 1 Steel wool should not remove the finish just the scuff marks. Richard James chemicals have other products than the StoneLoc , check them out to see what offering they have for this use.

The question I have is will the steel wool remove the finish or just the scuff marks? And I am guessing that when you say Richard James you mean stone lock.

Paul ,

 

There are very few if any coating that will not scuff.  The steel wool is a good idea , burnish and spray buff.  To determine the coating I recommend trying some alkaline based stripper to remove the finish. If the alkaline stripper does not remove the finish, then you probably are dealing with an epoxy coating. ( GOOD LUCK ) this will be fun if you need to remove it .

 

Try using AX-IT stripper form Bedco  Adam in Chicago has had some good results with this stripper, or go to the paint stripper .

 

For a new application , I would look to some of the Richard James Chemical to see what they offer .

what type of coating is on the tiles to begin with.  If its a urethane you can steel wool and recoat with an acyrlic.

I just did an estimate for a customer with 1000 square feet of Saltillo. The surface is coated however, she is having a big problem with scuff marks. When I tried to rub/remove them, they are very stubborn. They budge but only with a lot of work.

The questions are, how do I remove the scuff marks ?

                            What do I apply to avoid the scuff problem going forward??

Thanks in advance.

Paul
