your best bet is to use the brushes...Its the only way your going to get the texture.<div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Feb 20, 2011 at 11:27 AM,  <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a target="_top" href="mailto:info@restoreyourtiles.com">info@restoreyourtiles.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

I already tried that, the problem I am having is that I am removing texture in the same time as removing scratches. I need something to make the texture back into the stone. I am not that worry about recreating finish as of making the texture the same. At this point I think that I will probably end up buying those antiquing brushes unless somebody has different method or idea.<br>

There is Alpha, Sia, to name just a couple, 5&quot; Velcro backed paper, aluminum<br>
oxide grit and thay work super well on travertine. You keep working them and<br>
as they load they will start to polish, a 400 grit will remove damage then<br>
bring to a high hone similar to most factory finishes. Does take some<br>
practice however.<br>

Partners,<br>
How do you remove scratches from tile which has honed, brushed finish with<br>
bush hammered edges?<br>
Scratches are equivalent of 200 grit and there is about 6sq ft of the<br>
damaged area so I am planning on using Makita. Travertine is the material.<br>
I have 2 tiles to practice and I am looking for any ideas.<br>
Is there a way to do it with out spending fortune on brushes?<br>
