Thanks guys! Do you 5x terrazzo or treat it more like granite with the powder and crystalizer?

Thanks again,

pretty much the same as marble ,,do it wet of course. We do densify our terrazzo after 200 grit with a  lithium silicate, but plenty of people dont. You dont have to densify. I like to stop around 800 grit..Then you can powder polish, crystalize if you do that, (we dont), or run an 1800 grit floor pad..Kind of the real sticking point is where do you start...if it is fairly new, I would just start with 200 resins..Most of my floors are 100 years old, so we start with 70 metals or lower..But to be safe i  would just stick to resins.

I treat the terrazzo you described like natural stone, I use the same process. I know some contract use a densifier at a certain point.

I was hoping someone would have time to remind me of the best process for honing and polishing terrazzo that has been honed before. I know at least one of these jobs was installed prior to1992 so prob concrete based, but I would appreciate both methods if they differ.
