Further to what the others have said, back in my day, (early '70's - early '80's), down under, we didn't have any fancy rinse solutions, we would just add a cup of white vinegar to a bucket of water and rinse.
The Acetic Acid would neutralise any remaining detergent residue.
Then, when dry and before applying the top coat, we would buff with our 175 using a red pad.
The friction of the red pad would achieve several things.
This would seal the open pores in the vinyl, give you a deeper shine, and because the pores were sealed, you would use less top coat.
Remember also, after the first top coat which goes to the wall, keep all other coats a mop distance away to prevent build-up around the perimeter.
Hope this helps.

I don't regret my past, I just regret the time I've wasted with the wrong people.
Take me as I am, or watch me as I go.
I'll retire when I can no longer do what I love, or no longer love what I do.
Stop moving, start dying........
