yeah I posted it on my company facebook page. As a rule i dont crystalize, but I do keep a bottle in the van because I live in an imperfect world. Between the resin stones and who knows what it in the world is coming in from China and India these days, especially with coffee tables, sometimes you need some help to hit the coffee circle.I wish you guys could see the job we finished last month...one company did the entry and I did the lobby..the entry was tennessee pink, he made a couple passes with diamond (no scratch removal) then crystalized it..Oh yes very shiny. They ought to hold the winter olympics on this floor..the guys driving the lifts to hang the lights could not get any wheel traction on their lifts because the floor was so slick.there is no fooling me about that stuff. It was a shortcut means so that untrained labor could cheaply maintain a floor. I was told last year by a person in the industry, " you are doing your customers a disservice if you dont crystalize"...of course he also sold the junk. You know it is shiny, but so is wax.Years ago I went to a training seminar in Dallas at VMC, so they could show there v1 and v2 stuff ...during the demo they burnt these huge rings in the floor...the guy said, "oh you just have to rehone that area" lol ...that was enough for me right there.Also last year, I had to reset a section of marble wall in an old hotel...I thought just to be helpful I would shine it up abit with crystalizer...every vein in the stone splitl and cracked...it was what we call Carthage Marble, true name is Napeoleon Grey.
