Honing powders will not work as well as diamonds. Remember with a diamond you are using a hard back plate which even at the same grit as powders will dig deeper and produce a flatter shine.

on you second question, yes this may or maynot be a concern..the only way to tell is to test..You can use the 400 diamond and than finish it off with honing powders and you might get a fairly consistant look

I would go more aggressive to remove the acid damage, 220 at least. Do a sample in several areas because it could be very inconsistent.

I was curious about scratch removal. Will 280 honing powders remove scratches as effect say as 220 diamonds. I use that as comparison since they do not know of any 280 diamonds. Or will honing powders remove scratches at all?

2ndly, I have a customer with a limestone floor that has a too rough of finish due to someone acid washing the floor.  I know that I can use diamonds say up 400 grit to give the stone a smooth finish followed with honing powders.  But my concern is unless I grind the floor flat I will not accomplish a consistent smooth finish on all the tiles. Is that a valid concern?

 

Thanks,
