Let’s explore the detailed procedures:

Granite Resurfacing and Polishing Procedures

The resurfacing and polishing of granite floors require careful execution. Follow these steps to achieve optimal results:

Strip All Surface Coatings

Begin by thoroughly removing any existing finishes or coatings on the granite surface. This step is crucial to ensure the subsequent procedures adhere effectively.

Hone Using Scratch Removal Discs (SRDs)

• Utilize Scratch Removal Discs with varying grits.
• SRDs cut aggressively while leaving a fine grit finish.
• The honing process takes approximately 1 minute per square foot.
• Keep the surface wet throughout the honing process.

Vacuum the Slurry and Rinse

• Vacuum the dry residue post-honing.
• Rinse the granite floor with a Neutral pH Stone Cleaner to ensure cleanliness.

Wet Polish with a White Pad

• Pour about 1 oz. of Granite Gloss/Rejuvenator plus 1 oz. of water directly onto the floor.
• Use a white polishing pad to buff 10-12 sq. ft. of the area.
• Continue buffing until the mixture is completely dry, and the gloss is restored.

Sweep or Vacuum Dry Residue

After polishing, sweep or vacuum the floor to remove any powder residue.

Interim Maintenance for Ongoing Brilliance

To keep your granite floors looking their best, follow these maintenance practices:

• Protect, if needed, with an impregnating stone seal.
• Clean daily using a neutral pH stone wash.
• Maintain gloss with a granite gloss product.
