Making wood floors look good:

Besides refinishing a wood floor, what is the best way to make a wood floor "shine"? Is there a certain type of wax or something I can use? I am getting my unit prepped for the next tenant.

You won't want to use wax. If the polyurethane is still on the floor and you don't have any spots that are worn down to the bare wood, then you can do a recoat.

Rent a square buff sander and rough up the top coat of finish that is there. Sweep and vacuum up the loose dust and then apply a new coat of urethane. Make sure you let it sit for a week or two before moving someone in, that way it will be fully cured.
