Let the finish cure thoroughly, whatever it is. Then it is
hard and you can buff it out to whatever sheen you
want. Topcoating with paste wax looks nice.

Finishes sold as less glossy than “gloss” have flattening
agents in them that weaken the finish. Thus with
high wear surfaces like floors it is a good idea to go with
gloss.
