From my use of crystallization and jobs I have seen in most cases there too much crystallization used. A fine mist is all you need, especially if you have already polished the stone with a polishing powder. If you using  fine mist you can get 1000 or more sq.ft. before the pad become too wet. On some floors ( greens) the more build up you get in the pad the better it works ,however at the end you need to use a dry pad and buff off.

I disagree with 000 or 0000 steel wool. This steel wool will generate too much heat and you will run a high risk to dulling the floor or what known as burning the surface by generating too much heat.

 

The #1 steel wool is the best grade to use and the only grade I use and the only grade we use when training.

Roger. That steel wool is too corse. 000 or 0000 is best. The swirl marks will need to be honed out.

My techs did a commercial job with black marble. The final strep way to crystalize the floor. I just got a call back with issues of swirl marks. They use 0 steel wool. We very rarely crystalize , thus have very little experience in that area.

What did we do wrong and needs to de done to correct the problem?

 

Thanks,
