you can also buy abrasive brushes that are used for what are called Venetrian finishes. This may also give you a sand blasted look.   whatever you do you  are going to have to do the entire floor so it all looks the same. <br>

<div><br></div></div>

<div class="h5">
<div>
<p>I have a client who installed 20 000sqft of sand blasted granite in his lobby.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It has been sealed with a silicone impregnator.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It has held up beautifully for the last year</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The cleaning company came in and started to clean it using a black pad to remove marks that were left behind from the winter carpets</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What has happened is that the black pad as acted as an abrasive and sort of polished the fresh , bright  sand blasted finish, leaving what looks like a darker spot</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Personally I think that trying to keep it looking so light will be an impossible task unless I find a way to mimic the sand blasted technique indoors.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will accept any advice, as I am going for tests in tomorrow</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have acids</p>
<p>Degreasers</p>
<p>White pads</p>
<p>Blue pads</p>
<p>One of those rotating washer blasters</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>What do you guys think?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Antonio</p>
<p>The guy who looks for headaches and impossibilities!</p>
