This is my process:I'm not saying its exactly right but before and after's
are amazing.
Depending on depth of existing wear/scratches I start with either 50 (for
deep scratches) or 100 (for normal heavy type traffic wear) using hard resin,dry
polish discs ,Run Wet .100 grit is the least aggressive ive found for removing
30 years of acrylic topical coating efficiently , run 200 0r 220 then take a
hand machine to the walls with 220, then I work the 400 hard, as close to
the base as I can get, without hitting it, then I run polish compound to the
edge,let dry as required then use solvent based impregnator,lightly dry
buff
As far as metal inlays,most are very soft metal like bronze, i have NEVER
had a problem with them,except when lippage was left as an exposed edge
transition, im in Florida and have done my share of terrazzo, Ill try to attach
a before and after with deep scratches, if not email me
polishedrock210@aol.com ill send some
pics, good luck!! "blessings" Scott Wilson, Wilson Stoneworks
