Paul,

Some thoughts to share. If you are truly interested in helping them evaluate, may I suggest that you or the bank or someone determine why some areas are duller and others not. Is it where the lines form? How is the floor maintained? Does it get vacuumed, dust mopped, damp mopped properly and how often? Are there walk-off mats at the entrances? What kind of traffic count does this bank have?

It is nice to be able to repair the floor like John Freitag explained but if the repair does not last due to neglect in the above mentioned maintenance department... it may mean you getting caught in the middle for a longer period.

John or Fred? Is it possible to feather in the damaged areas so as not to process the whole floor before due time?

Regards,

A general contractor I have worked with in the past asked me to look at a
black absolute teller line (those huge counters in the bank the tellers
stand behind). The stone looks dull, abraded, in some spots and fine in others
(6 month old installation). I cant tell if the stone was doctored or what.
The are evaluating their options,(I am helping them evaluate ...). I tried
crystalizing with dark polishing powder which helped somewhat but did not
solve the problem. There are still areas where there is dullness etc.
Obviously a full restoration is preferred but they might not go for the price.
Is there any topical that anyone knows of that can "even out" or mask these
inconsistent spots?? The bank is pissed and the contractor wants to deal
with this quickly and move on. How did I get caught in the middle ??
