I've been lurking around this board for a year or so and find it very helpful. I finally got through the registration problems so here I am !!! First Post.
I grew up in the hardwood flooring business, mainly sand and refinsh with little installations. In the past year I've taken over the family run business following the death of my dad and all is well at this point. My problem is this. The "famous appliance guy scratched the floor" installing the subzero frig. I refinished the white oak about 6 months ago and as per owner request I used Minwax water based polyurethane satin. I stripped 5-6 boards and resanded applied the same finish { new bottle} Resulted in a very much higher sheen. What is the best way to buff it down to match? Im thinking of a wetsand 600grit. What do you guys suggest ?

Hand buffer and rubbing compound.

Recoat the entire floor. And the appliance installer picks up the tab.

agreed

I had orginally agreed to charge for a repair. The appliance dealer has agreed to pay that amount. Not so sure I can go back and charge for an entire re-coat now. I just need to match the gloss issue.

Elliot, sorry about your Dad, I'm glad you can carry the family business!
About the scratch, I have mellowed out sheens in small areas with the use of a red (barely abrasive) buffing pad.
I cut a small piece of and using a circular motion begin rubbing out the sheen. You have to hold your head at that magic angle, you know the one that the new guy you hired won't be capable of for at least 5 months, and start with little pressure and fast swirls.
Give it a shot, unless the furniture mover is honorable...(fat chance.)
