Like steve said but hone it to 3000 and your polishing powder will not have to do too much. Orange peel is from over polishing needed to close the pores and achieve the polish when the diamond honing is not sufficient. Close the pores with diamonds then lightly polish.

I would try honing up to good clarity then use MB12 almost completely dry. water will over react the acid and cause orange peel. Aloha

Hi Randy,

 

Have you had this situation before?  How deep do you suggest?

 

Kind Regards,

Alex Rivera

Maybe cut the surface a little deeper then bring it up.

New white carerra marble with smooth glass like finish from factory.  Clients housekeeper etched it.  Client tried crystallizing it themselves. We were called after they attempted to fix it themselves.

I have tried a variety of methods to repair but keep having an orange peeling issue.

Tried tin oxide. Tried mixing tin oxide with marble powder.

After honing, is it possible to bring it back to the factory glass gloss?

I have worked on much white carerra marble before and it never behaved like this.

Thanks in advance for your tips and opinions.
