I see
The paint didn't say it needed to be top-coated with poly, that was your idea

Not to go over the latex paint no
I would not recommend poly
As for what I would use on a wood floor:

In that case I use Minwax oil-based floor poly

Well, I'm not familiar with Mclosky's all-in-one
I'm not fond of many step-saver products, as IMO usually they suffer in another area
But truly I can't speak for Mcloskey's
It may work well
I wouldn't recommend an acrylic, but if the product says it's for floors then maybe it will work OK
As recoating with enamel, or poly, would require removal of the present finish, I'd say leave the Mcloskey's on and see how it does
The labor is the same to remove the Mclosky's now, or in six months
Why not leave it be and see how it holds up?
. Im ready to move on to the last steps of this porch project. The floor has been done with an exterior acrylic latex primer and paint. I have purchased Minwax oil based polyurethane clear gloss for the final touch. Is this a good choice or should I have gone with something more durable. Im no expert but I would appreciate some education on this matter before I begin .
