I hardly ever use honing powders now that the pads are here. I have 5 gal pails of it in every grit that I purchased in bulk, just collecting dust. For me it is obsolete because in most cases I can use a twister/eco/spinflex and get the job done much faster with much less clean up. Honing powders are good for when you have to get into a low corners, can use 2 white pads and get good contact. Honing powders can stain grout, you have to pre wet any dark grout, and use a turbo to get it all off BEFORE it dries into the pores, or you are SCREWED.

Have you tried "twister" pads? We actually use kgs pads.

You can acid "touch up" places that you can't get to with the pad.

I need to take a new polished shower to a honed finish. Reason being it looks like the installer among other thanks sanded down lippage and left the edges honed. Do I need to hit the stone 1^st with diamonds then possible use honing powders? Or can I go straight with honing powders. I thought about acid washing the stone but have concerns. That is possible damaging the finish on the tub or shower doors.

Thanks,
