I've only used it as a spot/etch remover on counters. The results were
great for me. (no grinding) As for the use on floors....my tests with a
rotary machine were not good, however a Klindex with planetary head was a
completely different story. (results great) I just thought for the problem
mentioned it might be a QUICK FIX. Thanks.
