Anthony,
Any pictures??? This would help
to determine what needs or can be done. If you have any pictures please send.
Next question, how old is the
floor?
How old is the replacement tiles
?
The film on the stone from the crystallizer
many be that the polish never was totally polished in??
Was the floor sealed prior
to trying to crystallize it??
If you can send pictures and
answer these questions , perhaps I can shed some light on these questions

Subject: [sccpartners] St Mark Polishing
We are currently polishing a floor ST Marktm. There have
been tile replacement and you can dramatically see what was restored in the
past compared to the manufacturers finish. Originally the floor on
a lower level was grinded and polished. Later a few tiles were
changed. The difference is staggering. The manufactured product
looks like a flat piece of glass, the grinded material looks like its warped,
opened veins, pores etc. This looks to me like the perfect bad effect of
having a resigned stone. Looks great initially but the moment you try to
maintain it , you get in trouble.
One floor on two levels, top and bottom
Bottom
lippage free, except for certain areas
which were changed
Finish High Shine
Sealed Using Enhancer pro DuPont
Certain areas polished floor using
Nilfisk Crystallizer, more clarity achieved but floor now looks greasy
Top
Has Lippage (never grinded)
Sealed using Enhancer pro from DuPont
Polished maintained using polishing powders
Also tried polishing floor using
Nilfisk Crystallizer, more clarity achieved but floor now looks greasy
I have tried polishing it, but the color
faded,
We the proceeded to enhance it, looked
better
The crystallizer really brought out the
clarity
But now it looks like a film is on the
surface
What can you share about your St Mark
experiences
