This video shows you how to use Jon-Don’s Diamond Polishing Pads to hone and polish limestone floors. The process starts with using an 800-grit pad to remove traffic abrasions and scratches, followed by pads of higher grits to smooth the floor to a glossy sheen.
Begin first by thoroughly cleaning the floor, removing all dirt and soiling.
Next, wet the floor using a clean mop and clean water.
Attach a diamond grit pad to your standard 175 RPM floor machine, add weights, and begin polishing the floor in a counter-clockwise motion. Once the water turns milky, you know the pads are working. Go over the floor 8-10 times to ensure a thorough job.
Rinse the floor, and then repeat the process using a higher grit pad.
Finally, use the 3000 grit pad to go over the floor. This pad can be used for daily maintenance or spot treatments.
NOTE: This process can only be used on natural stone floors (limestone, travertine, marble, sandstone, etc.). Do NOT use these pads on manmade tiles (ceramic or porcelain) as they will permanently damage the tiles.
