Polishing Basics

Polishing your concrete floor
The technique for polishing a concrete surface may seem simpler, but it may call for professional help to get the work impeccably. The machine used to polish your old stained concrete surface is equipped with diamond-impregnated disks with metal pads attached at the bottom with diamond scattered pieces. It is by pushing and moving the diamond polishing pads over the surface you will smooth away the flaws in the stone, even in the uneven areas.

Polishing your concrete has to go through several stages
Polishing your concrete is done in several passes. You may use the best diamond polishing pad to pass it over each successive concrete surface, doubling the size of the grit as you change pads. Switch to a 32-grit diamond pad, then move to a 60- grit diamond pad, and finally to a 120- grit pad. At this stage, surface is reasonably level but the shiny element may still lag behind. So, as to give more decorative value to the surface, you must start with a 50- grit pad till a 3000 grit pad to get the finest polished surface.

Technique Basics
