John had an old set of pads. I can tell you that these pads are going to
blow away the industry. In addition they have a new floor machine which is
a random orbital called The Beast. I witness two days ago the following.
They took 100 grit metal bond diamonds to rough up the surface of a black
absolute floor. they than went through three steps at at rate of 15 seconds
per step per square foot and then polished with a 11000 grit monkey pad wet
to dry. Now you guys know how much of a skeptic I can be...I was totally
blown away . they not only got a factory finish on black absolute but the
clarity was incredible.
