I'd like to refinish my marble floors on the top floor of a high-rise apartment complex. Is dry use also possible, or polishing with water from bucket?

Ig you use dry pads yes. To use a bucket you need a pump like in a tile saw basin

Dry use is possible but terribly dusty ... you could polish from a bucket was well ... but if you are going to polish more than say 60 square feet you need a much bigger tool.

You can refinish your floors with this product, but it depends on how large of an area you have to finish. This is a small diameter disc it would take awhile. As for sanding without water I would not do that. The water does two things it keeps down dust and more importantly prolongs the life of the abrasive pads, not too mention you get a more even finish by using water.

I used it on my cultured marble shower base, which had some mineral deposit build up. This was the recommendation of the company that produced the base. I noticed that I had a slight bit of color on my polish rag. The company said this was okay. It has solved my problem with mineral deposit, however I am getting ready to install a very large amount of granite in a complete kitchen remodel and I would not consider using this particular product on my granite. There are specific products designed for this purpose. I use a granite cleaner and then a polish on my bathroom. There is also a produce I use once a year that acts as a sealer. Hope this helps.

Dear Klunch, If your marble floor is rough, yhis is not the product for you. This is simply an excellent polish. It is my humble opinion, not physically seeing your floor, that your marble needs to be honed and polished. That is generally performed by a firm that comes in with buffing and honing equipment. I'd get several estimates and check with your local BBB before hiring the company to do the work. I hired a company without checking them out and ended up with machine ringlets everywhere. What a nightmare! So be certain to CHECK THEM OUT or get their references. Best of luck to you. Dear Klunch, If your marble floor is rough, yhis is not the product for you.

Basically you can use either a paste wax or a milk. I have three different kinds of flooring- Perco, Walnut, and Cork. The Walnut requires no wax; however, I use Bioshield's floor milk on the other two. You simply apply the floor milk with a cloth applicator; let it dry; then use Koblenz's grey buffing pads to give the floor a deep shine; and then follow with the lambs wool pads to give it a very smooth shine. (On the perco floor, I originally used Martha Stewart's Wood floor cleaner with no wax and just used the buffing pads to enhance the shine that comes naturally with the cleaner; but I get an even brighter shine with Bioshield's floor milk.)

I was able to polish vinegar damage on marble. Urine is also acidic so I think it will work. Good luck.

No! This is to restore more less raw marble. You'd ruin your floor. Buy a grout release product. That's their purpose.Or.....just use a damp towel and elbow grease

The pads would absolutely work on marble. I expect you could obtain a glassy finish if the marble is good. The densifier is for concrete, and it helps to harden it and fill voids so that you can obtain that high polish without removing too much material. There are two components. Each needs to be mixed according to the enclosed instructions. Application is by knife and brush.

A friend sprayed water while i grinded. Only used them on granite. Neither one of us thought that using then dry would be a good idea. They work great. We used every step/number from low to high to polish. They were used to polish sides of granite tile. Hope that helps u. Erik

Do not dilute it. Put it, as is, in a spray bottle and mist it on your ceramic tile, stone, or laminate floor. Then mop it with a microfiber mop. Let dry. It cleans and shines. By the way, Bona(a Swedish company) also makes the mops to go with this product.

They have a remover called Quickshine Deep Cleaner . Lots of elbow grease. We also used steam on a marble floor. Very difficult.

Just the polishing disks. Just don,t puy too much tilt on the polisher, or you can knock off some of the diamond segments from the dish. I used this on granite tiles to polish the edges. Work your way up to the 3000. Start with rougher grit and move on to the next finer until you get to the finest. Use outside. Water will fly everywhere.

I used it on hardwood floors and it took it off, but with a lot of effort involved in scrubbing. I would think it would work on marble, but having had some marble ruined in the past with a cleaner, I would test it on a small area first.

I don't see why not, I used it to polish concrete all the way down into the aggregate and most of that is rock. The tricky thing will be how you secure the gemstones and rocks in order to use the polisher on them.

I would use with care on cultured marble, testing a small area first. I use it in my travertine shower but the finish is rough not glossy. I would not use it on my shiny marble kitchen countertops. Cultured marble is supposed to have a man made polymer sealant of some sort so if that seal is good you shouldn't have a problem.

No. You need a floor buffer with a special pad designed for marble in order for this product to work.

This product cleans and polishes marble & granite. It will not remove the yellowing of age or water marks. Product can be used on kitchen cabinets giving them a nice shine.
