I just developed this simple process and haven't had to time to think about
It. Took a lot of time experimenting and to figure it out. My Race Deck was getting a little dull so I wanted to see if I could restore it back to original. The shine is at least 4x brighter than from Factory. Tiles can be touched up
Easily or redone in a very short time. An average double car garage could be completed in a day easy one person. Team of two would be very fast. I will let you know soon if your interested. I may just post it for the members.

Definitely post up. I have a 3-car garage that could use this treatment even though I clean it frequently.

Thanks.
