Barry,
Creama marfill is one of the easiest stones to polish. In your case I would go with 220 diamonds and MB12 to get satin or pearly finish. I would also make a sample for the customer before I start the job so there is no surprises.

Subject: [sccpartners] creme marfil

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.
