- Dave W.

“Thanks for a fine product and great instructions. It was a lot of hard work but the results are fine and the DCI concrete floor wax and polish really made it “pop”. We are happy with the project and the economy of covering 1250 feet of floor space for only about $400.
Our total cost was a bit more than 50 cents per square foot. Since we plan to do more next fall, that puts us in the class of satisfied DIY customers.”
