rewax

Recoat the floor

To rewax is to apply wax again to a surface that has previously been waxed.

The term appears most often with cars, floors, and waterproof clothing that need periodic maintenance: Time to rewax the jacket before ski season.

Surfboards and skis also get rewaxed for better performance.
