Both of these products are not crystallizers. These products are similar to the polishing powders in that they contain an abrasive and either potassium oxlate and or oxalic acid. In addtion they contain wetting agents to help prevent etching. Crystallizers on the other hand contain Flurosilicate compounds. The easist way to tell if you are dealing with a crystallizer is to look at the MSDS and if it has the term flurosilicate then its a crystallization product.

Dr Fred: i hoping you will clairify once and for all about polishing compounds (ex: Aqua Mix marble reviver) or (Gran Q's 206R) -vs- 205x polish powder

Do the aqua mix and 205r recrystalize the floor to an unbreatheable condition???

The PhD chickie from aqua mix in ca told me that yes it crystalizes but to a breathable state

My now ex rep from GQ never could answer the question about 206R

I like the compounds because they are a little easier than 205X,I have been using them primarily on terrazzo restoration,since we used AM reviver on a new travertine install honed to 400,where we suffered a litte more that normal spalling,the fix was not a proublem but was our situtation possibly "poor quality stone" or "unbreathable stone"???????

I attached a couple pics of last weeks terrazzo restoration,of horrible condition 55 year old terrazzo,ground for deep scraches 50, honed to 400, polished GQ206R,sealed GQ314P,buffed white dry,w/burnisher

Dr. Fred,we would love your "gut honest" oppionion and constructive or criticul comments from everyone
