# How do I prep my floor for a re application of a coating?

## Steps on how to prep your floor for re application of a product

Step 1. We suggest using a 3M red pad on a floor buffer to scratch the floor up. If you would like a more aggressive prep then sanding with a 150 grit pad is advisable.

Step 2. Ensure to vacuum and sweep thoroughly after sanding has been completed

Step 3. Wipe down the floor with denatured alcohol and a microfiber mop.

Step 4. Let the floor dry for 30 minutes

Step 5. Reapplication of the product can begin!
