One of the hardest things I had was to be sure and dry the area so I could see the scratches from the grit I was using before moving to the next grit. Seeing 100 grit scratches at 800 grit stinks had to redo. Walls make you tired and makes you hurry. Take breaks  good luck Phil

If that&#39;s the case there are many factors like how much lippage is there reason being all the scratch patterns created from 50 metals 50 resin 120 resin 200 resin 400 resin 800 resin maybe even 1800 resin although mb-12 or 5x could most likely polish after 800 depending on the machine and diamonds used......But your most challenging thing will be getting all your scratch patterns out if you truly are grinding lippage as stated because if you don&#39;t get them ALL out believe me you will see them when you get to 
polishing.Hope that helps good luck.......<br><font color="#888888"><br>Rod Medel<br>Superior Stone <br>San Diego <br><a target="_top" href="http://www.superiorstonerestoration.com/" target="_blank">www.superiorstonerestoration.com</a>
