For the metal scuff marks try Amazing Remover. Put some on and let it sit for a few minutes than wipe it off . You may need to do this a couple of times. We use this method in are carpet cleaning division. Sometimes the metal wand will leave a mark on tile and this has always worked to remove it. This product also works great on stone to remove rust and does not etch the stone.

the problem with color enhancers on exterior stone is it wont last..  to be honest they are more than likely going to have to replace the stone.

 

as far a metal marks..you can try a polishing powder..this should remove the metal marks.

While on the subject of impala black… Is there a method for removing metal scuffs. There is a floor I looked at today and it was marked from cleaners using a vacuum, and scuffed it with what appears to be aluminum. I tried an abrasive cleaner, no luck.

I’m not sure I would use balck motor oil, however if you want to go that way call me or Fred and we can tell you how to darken sealers using bolied linseed oil. If you do use boiled linseed oil mixed with a solvent based sealer

BE CAREFUL THE BOILED LINSEED OIL HAS A LOW FLASH POINT. DON’T EVEN LET APPLICATOR OR ANTHING WITH THE SEALER AND THE LINSEED OIL IN YOUR TRUCK OR WAREHOUSE IT WILL BURN!!!!!!

Subject: [sccpartners] Impala Black granite

 

We have a customer with a lot of Impala Black on their landscape boxes and pillars.  The bottom of the stone has a bit of spalling and has turned to a a light color.  They are hoping to have this refinished. 

 

It is about 10 years old and has never had any maintenance done.  I believe that the light color may be effloresence, but is right next to a walk and driveway that is salted in the winter.

 

I’m looking for suggestions to save the customer having to replace the stone.  They are not expecting it to look perfect, but would like the color back.

 

See attached picture

 

Thank you
