Once the water-resistant gloss has developed (to be checked with a floor squeegee), rinse thoroughly with water (Devo rinse and vacuum machine). When the surface is completely treated, mop the floor. After drying, machine polish with a dry white pad. The gloss depends on the lime content of your floor.
