← Back to What are the best practices for using epoxy resin on wood or concrete floors?

Scratches and dull patches can appear over time on epoxy resin floors, especially in high-traffic areas. Luckily, restoring that pristine gloss is straightforward with the right approach and products.
How to Remove Scratches from Epoxy Resin Floors
To tackle fine scratches or haze on an epoxy floor, start by cleaning the surface to remove dust and debris. Use a rotary polisher or a hand pad holder with a high-grit pad for the initial pass. Work over the scratched area gently, then progress to finer pads for a polished effect. If you do not have a machine polisher, hand use with a pad holder is preferable over just a cloth, as it generates the friction needed for a proper finish.
- Begin with higher grit pads for scratch removal
- Gradually switch to finer pads for optimal shine
- Finish with a microfibre cloth or polishing sponge
Choosing the Right Products and Tools
A dedicated polishing system such as the Epoxy Polish – Epoxy Resin Polishing System is highly recommended. This kit is designed to eliminate micro-scratches and restore the resin’s original lustre with minimal effort. For additional repair, clear casting products like Trasparente – Multipurpose Clear Epoxy Resin can be used to fill deeper gouges before sanding and polishing.
When Scratch Removal Matters
Scratch removal is especially relevant when rejuvenating older resin floors or before applying a topcoat for a renewed gloss. If restoring a presentation area, showroom, or creative wood/concrete project, a polished floor enhances both appearance and durability.
