I use a couple of different compounds such as 5x,diaglo,m3,'s paste but mainly reach for the mb-12. Its probably out of habit but I like the fact it can be easier to clean up and you can see results as you polish. It takes a bit of practice to get the technique downpat(dry polishing) but once you get the concept you will enjoy using it. A 7lb container will last a long time and you will get excellent results using small amounts. Water activates the product load on the pad and makes polishing faster. Uh Oh after reading this back it sounds like a plug.
Sorry-call or e-mail me if you have any questions or if you would like a sample.

Anthony,

 

The problem you may be having with 5X is making sure you have the right 5X powder and you are using it properly. There is a timing and a method for using 5X that I can guarantee will produce the results. The first thing you need is the correct 5Xpowder. This can be purchased from StoneCare Central . Then once you have the powder then you need to know how to use it and how much powder to use per section of floor you are polishing. These process are all taught at The Stone and Tile School.

During our training we will teach you how to polish using 5X on 25 different marbles and a timing process that will tell you exactly how long it takes to hone and polish these stones.

 

If I can be of any assistance please advise

In my experience all powders work differently for everyone. My competitor works with 5x which I have never been able to get good results from while he loves it. I use the stone medic brand which he dislikes. Use your powder and if you get good results stick with it for most jobs. But always have a few others for when the time comes as it won't work on every stone. Cremo Marfil is an easy one to pop a shine, but that same powder may give you less results on other colors

Hello everyone, I am curious to see what everyone prefers using when powder polishing crema marfil. I have a small 400sq' job that they want me to clean up some etching and restore the polish. I used a small amount of polishing compound from hardrock tools on a small area and it came out amazing while cleaning up the etching. This job could potential turn into a 10Ksq' job so I am hoping to do the best I can. Thank you in advance for any help provided
