You can polish your CoreTec floor using at least two coats of a floor polishing product. The surface of CoreTec flooring will eventually lose its shine in areas that see a lot of foot traffic. Other parts of the room may remain shiny, but you should use polish on the entire room so that it has a uniform color and shine.
