OK...here's what we KNOW about Invisible. I can almost guarantee that's what you have. Invisible is the only one in matte.
We KNOW that 2-3 COATS of Invisible can look hazy. They use material in the finish (aka chemicals) that diffuse the way light works through....kinda like frosted glass in a bathroom = hazy as heck). That's SUPER annoying...which is how we know this...people have complained about it.
Now...if the installer had used the Loba 2K Supra AT with GLOSS for the first 1-2 coats and then FINISHED with the Invisible (matte) you would have had a matte finish SITTING on CRYSTAL CLEAR finish. The tendency to have it go hazy = much less.
The OTHER issue (foot prints) has to do with MATTE finishes. All matte finishes have this issue (to one degree or another). The MATTE'NESS' of the finish is the background. It is SOOOOO dull (how dull SJ?), it is SOOOO dull the light shine of SKIN OILS shows up SHINY. Oh...dear....that sounds like what is happening....sigh...no one explained that.
OK. We KNOW the finish is WORKING. How? They CLEAN UP nicely. The prints LEAVE as soon as you clean. Perfect. Excellent. Wonderful. That's how it works. Cleaning the floors = clean floors.
The ISSUE is the SHINY prints on DULL floors. The other issue, of water residue = water hardness or scaling. This is a known issue with plenty of water sources. The colour of the floor will dictate how well/poorly water spots show up. For most people who do not have a whole home water softener (that's most of us), they have to towel down their wet floors.
Yep. As you mop (which should not be SUPER wet...just snick wet...barely wet...almost dry...RIGHT???) you will go back over the water with CLEAN TOWELS. You will 'wipe on; wipe off, grasshopper'. That's how you STOP hardwater from leaving the whitish haze behind. This is more commonly seen on dark(er) floors and with matte finishes. It's hard to see hardwater residue on natural white oak in a semi-gloss finish.
How to fix your issues???? You need a buff and coat with a higher gloss finish. Yep. That's how you get rid of 90% of your issues. You pay for a buff and coat with Loba 2K Supra AT in satin (which ranks as a LOW gloss satin...it's quite dull but without the foot print issues) or a semi-gloss.
That's your fix. The Invisible is 100% doing it's job. It has properties (super dull = matte) that irritate you. To fix the irritation, you either fix the gloss level or you look at why it bothers you (don't take that as cheek...I'm not...I'm just mentioning the TWO sides of this coin...the finish and the human looking at it).
The hardwater residue is the 10% that requires a different type of fix...
