WE DO SATIN FINISHES WITH THE TWISTER OR MONKEY PADS.

Hi folks!

I am going to be working on a crema marfil tile floor ( never worked on this stone).  The floor was recently installed, but the installers scratched it up and sealed it with a impregnating h2o-based sealer trapping in quite a bit of grout haze.  the owners had a mfg rep from the sealer company come over, as well as the installer,  and try to get down to the grout haze using different cleaners but to no avail.  I plan on diamond honing at 220, 400 and then honing powder to catch any picture framing.

Here's my question.  The owners want a satin finish ( not a dull honed finish)and not a highly polished finish.  Should I use my go-to polish ( stone medic  ) and just polish for a short period of time?  I suspect that crema marfil does never polish to a very glossy finish----I have never worked with crema marfil.  Any comments would be appreciated.  Thanks.
