RESTORING PROCEDURES (continued)
STANDARD or HIGH-SPEED
SPRAY BUFFING
Procedures
Prior to spray buffing, perform routine maintenance procedures
to ensure floor is free of soils before spray buffing. This ensures
that dirt is not buffed into the finish.
1. Assemble your equipment
2. Attach a red buffing pad to buffer.
3. Spray Next Step 5 Spray Buff Reagent onto floor area with a correctly
labeled spray bottle. Do not mist the product as it will result in coating
the filter on the floor machine which may result in overheating
the motor over time.
4. Make three passes over spray buff solution or until a brilliant shine
appears. Ensure to overlap as you go. Turn pad over often or switch
to clean pad as pad begins to collect particles and dried spray buff
solution.
5. Clean equipment and return to its appropriate place.
6. Dust mop floor to remove any powder residue and remove caution
signs after task has been completed.

failure to do so will increase the need to strip. For light to moderate soil
there is no need to pre-clean.
1. Assemble your equipment
2. Post wet floor signs indicating which areas are to restored.
3. Line the mop bucket with a plastic trash liner to avoid contamination.
Dilute Next Step Revitalizer to recommended dilutions in the line bucket.
4. Dip pre-soaked rayon mop head into bucket and tamp in the wringer.
Clean floor with this solution, then on the second pass pick up excess
solution, leaving a consistent film.
5. It is not necessary to directly go to the baseboards or any area not able
to be burnished.
6. Allow coat to dry, normally taking 15-20 minutes.
7. Immediately burnish the restored area with a high-speed burnisher and
the appropriate pad. Consult your Zep Rep for this selection.
