Tony,

Be careful.  Lots of this marble is coming from China and has low quality resins.  We used an MB product from Stu Rosen and it worked wonders for our carerra nightmare.  I am an anti crystallizer person.  Have you seen Dr. Fred's latest video about that?  He explains it perfectly.  It is unhealthy for the surface and very unhealthy for the applicator....you.  There is a correct way to get this fixed.  It may take some experimenting, but I think if you use a crystallizer, you will only highlight issues and not resolve the issues.

You may also want to try a granite honing powder, dark.  May sound odd, but it can possibly help.  If this is a situation of a poor quality Carerra, you may have to address it more like a car restoration instead of a stone....also, have you tried to clean it with acetone, and then use a 0000 steel wool to rub off the marks by hand?

Let it dry out and then hit it with 5X or crystallize it. Your always better going back the next day on just about any white or black marble to make sure the moisture is out.

I'm working on a Carrera Marble floor.  I honed it with 220, 400 and then polished with 800 resin pads.  It left swirl marks, not scratches.  Almost seems like there is a waxy or oily substance in the stone.  It has streaks like a teflon chair pad would leave.  Any suggestions.
