When you have your surfaces refinished you want to know that they will go on looking good for years to come. The key to a long-lasting finish is the adhesive quality holding the top coat to the original surface. Surface Doctor alone guarantees you a winning combination of beautiful results AND durability.
Some resurfacing companies try to improve the adhesion of the new coating by roughening the original surface using mechanical grinders. Others etch the old surface with hydrofluoric acid. Neither method is reliable as there is little to prevent moisture working its way under the new surface, causing it to peel and flake over time. Furthermore, both methods cause further damage to the original surface, and in the case of acid-etching, introduce dangerous and toxic materials into the home.
Only Surface Doctor has MM-4, the most advanced resurfacing technology available. MM-4 molecularly bonds the old and new surfaces together, eliminating the need for grinding or acid-etching.
Its superior adhesive qualities make peeling and flaking impossible - guaranteed.
Independent laboratory testing in the USA demonstrates that MM-4 lasts ten times longer than alternative resurfacing methods.
