Works very well, but don't over do it
I've been using Quick Shine for nearly 10 years. I have two dogs and three kids, and live in Chicago so, needless to say, my floors take a beating. Here's what I've learned:
1. Use it on your floors 3 or 4 times a year - don't use it every week, otherwise you'll get the nasty build up that is mentioned throughout these reviews. I've found that the shine lasts on heavy traffic areas for about 2-3 months.
2. Before you use it, make sure you've cleaned your hardwood floors well. This is very important. I recommend using Holloway house's concentrated floor cleaner, or their Deep Cleaner/Wax remover product. You have to use really hot water and lightly scrub your floors - doing so will remove the old coats of Quick Shine and prep the floor properly, and you won't have build up problems.
3. I do not advise putting 6 coats on the floor, contrary to what the bottle says. This will only result in more build up, and doesn't really increase the shine. Two coats or three, max.
Again, I've used this product for years and found out the hard way about build up. I had to use boiling water and ammonia to remove layers and layers of Quick Shine because I never removed it properly before applying more. Now that I know how to use it, it works great for me. Oh, and the people at company were no help whatsoever when I called trying to find out how to remove the buildup. Had to go through a lot of trial and error to figure out how to remove it!
