Which wears better, gloss, satin or matt?

Floor Sanding FAQs
In the 20th century, when solvent-based polyurethanes were common, gloss was harder wearing, because manufacturers used additives which weaken the finish to achieve a satin or matt look. However, with our range of water-based varnishes, there is no difference in durability between matt, satin and gloss finishes. See similar questions...

I have seen the terms 'Matt', 'Satin' and 'Gloss' referring to paint. What do these terms mean?

International Paints
They refer to the sheen or 'gloss' level of a paint, and it does make a difference which one you select. They simply refer to the level of light reflectance in the paint, so for example, matt will not appear shiny as it does not reflect the light, whereas gloss will be shiny. See similar questions...

What is the difference between a Satin finish, a Semi Gloss finish and a High Gloss finish?

Welcome to Knox Hardwood Flooring
The Satin finish is a matte finish and the easiest to maintain. Because it has a low sheen, it is very forgiving insofar as showing scratches, dents, and wear and tear over time. The Semi Gloss finish has some shine and is a little harder to maintain in that it will show scratches, dents and wear and tear sooner. The High Gloss finish is the hardest to maintain in that it shows everything - dust, dirt, scratches, dents, and wear and tear in general the quickest. See similar questions...

How do we get a high gloss when buffing?

FOOTSIES PRESENTS STRATA
Make sure not to graduate too quickly from a 180 file to the white block. Try using the white block buffer a little longer than seems necessary. Be sure to wipe all grit and dust from the nail and the 3-way buffer, as even the smallest amount of dust will prevent a high gloss. Cuticle oil may be helpful. There may be a slight color variation from batch to batch. Allow the polish to dry completely before you decide it doesn't match. See similar questions...

What if the plating wears off of a metal mouthpiece?

JodyJazz Frequently Asked Questions
Regarding plating: Plating is not only cosmetic but it protects you from the very slight chance of brass poisoning. Our metal JodyJazz mouthpieces are made from a solid bar of brass. Then there are three layers of plating starting with Copper then Silver or Nickel and then the Gold. We use heavy Gold in 24kts. Over the long run the top layer of Gold can start to wear off. You are still protected from brass poisoning by the other two layers, which will not wear off. See similar questions...

BARF for Beginners - Most Frequently Asked Questions
The recipe and information on Satin Balls can be found here. Satin balls are not treats. They are a recipe that was developed to assist with putting weight on dogs. They were not developed as part of the BARF diet, but independently from it and are used by people who feed kibble as equally as those who feed home cooked or raw natural diets.

What is gloss, what is DOI?

Color Center - Color Handbook - FAQ
Part of the light incident on any surface is reflected in a rough approximation of an image-forming state. The remainder of the light penetrates the surface and, after suffering absorption, scattering and multiple reflections beneath the surface, is re-emitted in a nearly diffuse state. In our everyday judgement of color, we customarily view an object from several angles and also perceive how glossy it is. See similar questions...
