getzski 1 Report post Posted March 12, 2012 I don't think there is such thing as FOC, they just charge you higher on other items and put this item as FOC. To me, it's just some sales tactics. Encourage you to start a T-blog! Looking forward~ yes. you are correct in this sense. when you ask for things during quotation stage, this is how it works.

getzski 1 Report post Posted March 12, 2012 Wow.. sounds like a good idea!after my tiler is done with the retification works, i am going to wax all my tiles in the bathroom. wax will resist water and dirt, and it will also have cleaning much easier. according to those homediy websites.

getzski 1 Report post Posted March 12, 2012 tiles are porous. wax will go into those pores, and hence provides a seal. wax is also "slippery" in nature, so water and dirt tends not to stick so easily on waxed surface. the minus point, waxing is a 2 step process. you need to first apply the wax, and at this time the surface will become "blurry", and you will then need to bluff it off. this will then seal up the pores, as well as providing you a nice super shiny surface.

getzski 1 Report post Posted March 12, 2012 there are different brands of waxes. i will use those that is liquid form, and is easy to bluff off. so the effort required is similiar to wiping a surface twice.got leftover i can still wax my car....lol...which i have not did so in 2 years.

ayazumi 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2012 From my understanding is homogeneous tiles have lesser pores than ceramic tiles. Then wax should work better for ceramic tiles than homogeneous tiles. Ceramic tiles have shiny surface, makes it easier to apply wax and "polish" it, but I don't think wax can work that well for homo tiles. It may work, but just not as well as ceramic tiles.

Will be good if you show us the DIY website. Interested to know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just apply, wait while then buff off. But there is actually a curing period where the wax will "stick" onto the surface. I think it's more difficult to apply for textured surface compared to smooth surface. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not sure if it'll work better though since I have not tried.Another way....you know hi-glaze? You can actually mix it in water and wash the car with it. It gives temporary shine (temporary protection) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
