After we have stripped off the sealer, we wash off all the dirt and residue on our hands and knees, detailing it like you would get your car detailed. in our case, hitting all the nooks and corners along edges, under cabinets and any other hard to reach areas that machines can’t get to. Ultimately those are the areas that make an ordinary job, an Extraordinary job.
Once we have got it stripped and cleaned, let it dry out completely.
This is when we begin the sealing process. This is the final phase and you have four options of sealers you can use. You have a choice between a High Shine Sealer, a Low Luster sealer, Penetrating Natural look sealer, and a color enhancing sealant. We recommend the high shine sealer if you desire the indoors / interior sealed, and the color enhancing penetrating sealer if you want the outdoors / exterior sealed to avoid staining and water damage.
