I am so excited to try this!!! I am planning on just doing the last few steps on my granite countertops. I don't want to make a huge mess so I'm going to try just using the compounds to restore shine. Not too worried about etching. The shine will cover a lot of that up.

My partner and I bought a marble table and within a month it wasn't looking so good. There were patches that lost their polish and I'm not sure why. Overall it lost a lot of its new sheen. The thing is we were extra careful with it and it didn't matter. So, a few nights ago I was feeling curious and I tried turtle polish on it after seeing what it did to other things in my house. Holy crap does it look amazing. It looks better than when we got it.

That looks great! I bought a three step set of pads and tried on a discrete portion of my counter. I didn't get a shine on the marble and it appeared dull, i think I'm gonna tape off the area again and redo them from start to finish, the last disk is about 3K on the grit so after seeing yours I have hope. My coffee maker sits on the spot now so no one knows.

Hi snowjerk, Yes, keep graduating to finer grits, up to 8k. You'll REALLY notice the difference after using the polishes though. Don't give up on it! I look forward to hearing how things turn out. :)

The sealer says do not put over waxed surfaces I think you do your method but skip the last step then put the sealer then do the final wax the sealer beads up if you do this last on marble anyway

Could you have used your dual action polisher on the marble with the polishing compounds?
@VestigialVoice2 жыл бұрын
Hi Elaine, thank you for the comment. Did you watch the end of the video? 🤔 When roughly converting to sandpaper equivalents, the polishes represent 3000+ grit depending on which compound you choose. To start with a polishing compound on this project would've taken an eternity since the blemishes were so deep, however, after graduating up the sandpaper grits, the polish are a great finishing touch!

I wonder if using the wax and polishes that is utilized by Car detailing companies may not be a bad idea. With car polishes now at a high technology level, can we use this same idea to the cleaning of marble and other stones used for headstones?
@VestigialVoice3 жыл бұрын
Cam, the thought of cleaning a headstone would have never come to my mind, but I like the way you think! I would be a bit hesitant, at least initially, to use the diamond grit pads on something that has been eternally placed, but I bet you'd have excellent results with the polish and wax. If you end up trying it, let me know your results!!! 😊 Great comment!
@pinay563 жыл бұрын
@@VestigialVoice I was wondering since many of the power tools used by car detailers use a nylon bristle brush, the theory of not using metal would not be a problem since the only thing that touches the marble face is the bristles, and if set on a low setting, I can't see why not. But then I'm not a stone or granite mason.

Hi Drew, While I wouldn't advise chugging automotive polish out of the bottle, you should be wiping the visible material away and follow that up with a food-safe countertop sealer. This will not only protect the stone from staining and etching, but it will also provide a non-toxic barrier to keep your food safe. Good comment, Drew, thank you for visiting my channel! 😄
