Ron,
I have some of the akemi polish and was NOT impressed with the results.
I have the Akemi rep from Germany show me how it worked and even the
results he achieved was not at a standard that I would accept as a good polished
finish. I also tried it on the floor with a floor machine and the result were
not great. The other problem I had with the polish was the polish got into the
grout lines and was real tough to remove. Perhaps in some application this may
work but I’m not ready to recommend this polish to our partners. Perhaps in
the future

Great advise however that does
not solve the issue that the stone is not what was purchased. It will
just happen again..but this is a good alternative to fix the problem
temporarily

There was a time when I would walk if my clients had issues with Black
Absolute. No more. I agree with the advice given by our experts but would
like to offer another alternative. Akemi has developed a NEW liquid
polish for marble and granite that work like a charm. (not crystalizer!)
We took a piece of black marble, poured acid on it and burned it bad. The
Akemi rep., using ONLY this polish- 4-5 applications, polished the burn
right out of the marble. I could not believe my eyes. If you have trouble
locating this product give me a call. Good luck.
