Why Does Applying Polywipe 5500 To Hardwood Flooring Cause Discoloration?

I've been reorganizing my kitchen and I've been experimenting with different cleaning products on my hardwood floors. I recently applied Polywipe 5500 to a small area and now it's discolored. Has anyone else had this issue? I know Polywipe 5500 is supposed to be a gentle cleaner, but I guess that's not always the case. I've heard some people swear by it, but I'm starting to think it's not suitable for my floors. Anyone have any recommendations for alternative cleaners that won't ruin my hardwood?

Why Does Applying Polywipe 5500 To Hardwood Flooring Cause Irreversible Damage

I've been reorganizing my kitchen and I stumbled upon this idea that applying Polywipe 5500 to hardwood flooring will give it a sleek look. I mean, who doesn't want their floors to have that perfect shine? Now I'm curious, does anyone have experience with this? I've heard it's got something to do with the chemical properties of the polyurethane in Polywipe 5500 not reacting well with the finishes on hardwood. But that sounds like a load of crap to me. If it's good enough for my kitchen cabinets, why not the floor? I'm calling bs on the whole 'it damages the wood' claim. Somebody please tell me what's really going on here.
