Hi everyone. I'm looking for some advice on a little polishing conundrum. We have a church client for whom we restored their terrazzo sanctuary floor this summer. As part of the job we hand cleaned (but did not polish) a vertical 30' long by 15' high highly polished marble "screen" behind the alter. The cleaning worked fine, but in some areas where the marble partitions come together, the polish is gone leaving a dull butterfly effect typically extending about 2-3 inches on one or both sides of the seam and running along the seam for between 5 and 12 inches (sorry, no photos). There are about 5 or 6 areas like this. I suspect that, in the past, volunteers cleaned the screen with some sort of cleaner that etched around the seams when not sufficiently dried after cleaning.
I am looking for something of a quick fix, perhaps a topical application like mb-8 or carnuba wax. Haven't experimented yet. I want to avoid powder polishing the seams and creating a situation that requires extensive powder polishing of areas beyond the seams in order to properly blend the polish and, in the process, adding time and expense that we don't have. Thanks for any suggestions.
