We have had success using diamond impregnated fiber pads but only on travertine and some limestones and Marbles. The pads work best when used dry but again not all the time. The stone tech powder are high grit aluminum/iron oxides and may do the trick. They have them I think in four finishes or so. I have some powder that we have been testing which may get you the results your looking for. We havent put it on the market yet and doesnt have an official name. It wont etch the surface and is easy to use. I bet a teaspoon used like 5x over a 15 sq ft area would give you a nice high hone. Probably only have to take the JG up to 400 grit diamonds. We havent put it on the market yet only because I am the poster child for procrastination. We have sent out many samples only to get back positive feedback. Works like the dickens on terrazzo's. I am more than happy to send you a some on monday.

That's a hard one. I would try 400-800 diamonds, then sample honing powders or brushes, dry. Stone Tech Pro has a powder that is great for a high hone, just below a polish, it was called Euro Polish. The high gloss version is called Euro Shine.

Adam,
Think about a 3000g pad or a used 5x pad just lightly going over the area with a ltd of water to dilute the compound. Possibly even a steel wool 3 aught [000] dry buff. Good luck.

Partners,

I am looking for tips and tricks that you use when you try to match the
existing finish.

I have customer with Jerusalem gold floor that would like to remove traffic
lines and worn areas (about 400 sq ft) with out redoing entire floor
(almost 2500 sq ft) which is still in very good shape. If that was polished
or honed finish it wouldn't be a problem but it is satin finish. My idea
behind refinishing this floor is to hone worn areas up to 400 or 800 g and
use monkey pads (1500g) on entire floor. I did the sample with 800 g honing
powder and another with 1500 g monkey pad and it is too dull. I am afraid
that if I go with 5x it will be too much of gloss. What would you do?
