Care-Sheen corrects that in one pass, leaving a micro-thin gloss film that dries in minutes and resists scuffing for up to 12 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Care-Sheen Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare-Sheen is a neutral maintenance finish for natural stone and ceramic surfaces. The pH-8 polymer dispersion bonds to microscopic pores, forming a 0.5 µm film that raises light reflectance by 25 %. Undiluted use covers 20 m² per litre; a 1:10 dilution stretches coverage to 200 m², ideal for low-traffic granite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished \u003ca href=\"\/en-ie\/pages\/stone-marble\"\u003emarble\u003c\/a\u003e foyer losing gloss - use undiluted, 50 ml\/m².\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBathroom porcelain tiles with water spotting - use undiluted, 50 ml\/m².\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGranite kitchen island that sees occasional cutting - dilute 1:10, 10 ml\/m².\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly honed limestone hallway after first seal - use undiluted, 50 ml\/m².\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRough commercial granite lobby needing quick shine - dilute 1:10, 10 ml\/m².\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShake bottle for 30 s, then pour required quantity into a clean bucket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDip a lint-free mop or soft cloth, wring lightly, and spread in a thin, even film.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not rework drying sections; allow surface to air-dry for 30 min.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional: buff with a white pad after 60 min to heighten gloss by a further 10 %.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUndiluted coverage: 20 m²\/L.
