Free: Wax Floor Polish (Congleton CW12) Gifted Probably two-thirds of a large tin of floor wax left over from a recent project. Has great coverage. I did 3 coats on our freshly-sanded hall parquet flooring which is about 10 sq metres. Quite hard work to apply if you rub it in by hand, but really brings out the grain of the wood, and leaves a lovely finish. Word of caution though: it does initially make the floor very slippery if you're in your socks! Bought from Toolstation (product code 13048) so you can read the product details online. Collection please from near Congleton town centre.
