Dilutions
Ready to Use – Mix with water to form a slurry
Application
- Mask and tape off surrounding areas to avoid damage to other substrates.
- Remove all waxes and finishes from the stone surface before first use.
- Apply 30 – 60 grams (1 – 2 scoops) of polishing Powder in the centre of the area being polished.
- Add a little water to produce a slurry.
- Buff quickly over a 2 – 3m2 area with a weighted floor machine. Use a natural fibre floor pad or tampico brush.
- Once the slurry is spread over the area, polish the area using slow, even passes. Pull slurry back with a squeegee to determine gloss level.
- Once polished, wet vacuum the area. Rinse well, wet vacuum again and assess gloss level. If gloss level is acceptable, move on and repeat process. Overlap areas to blend.
- When total area is completed, rinse and wet vacuum entire area.
- Once the surface is dry, buff with a white pad to ensure the removal of residue.
- Immediately rinse and remove any material splashing out of the work area, to prevent etching.
