We need to refinish the hardwood floors. The sanding has been done. I
am wondering about using wax instead of polyurethane for the
following reasons.
One can redo a high traffic area and other problematic areas easily by
applying wax and buffing instead of redoing the whole floor with
polyurethane. It seems that it will require more regular maintaince
with wax, but it is less disruptive than getting all the furniture out
every 7 years to redo the whole floor. Besides, wax looks nice.
Wax will requier re-doing almost weekly if used as the only finish. If your
floors wear enough using poly to require finishing every 7 years, forget wax as
a finish.

So, my requests a
a) Opinions pro and contra wax.
Wax is not a finish. It is a polish and helps give the finish light protection.

b) What kind of wax?
See above.

c) Stain the floor first or apply the wax to unstained wood? If stain
is desirable, what stain? Minwax Woodsheen?
Once you wax it, forget about staining it.

d) Where do you get wax? It seems that Johnson paste wax is not made
anymore.
Look in your grocery store.
