not putting down any of Stu's products because I have not used them, but we only use 5x and the liquid polish from M3 which I believe is 5x with something added to it to help reduce etching.

Hi Stu, just remembered this as I have to re order polishing powder. I get the Tenax 5x for $15 per kg.

Give me your address I will send some MB12 for you to try.
Goes well with a couple of pieces of dull stone and a cold Fosters Lager
I think you will have some fun with it.

Thanks stu. I'll get some mb12. I find that a 400 Genisis gets everything usually and easier to transition to resins. The only reason I hone so high is because of the 5x being more difficult to pop a shine at 800. Hard to find good products here and super expensive. My go-to is the Tenax 5x because it is easily available and cheap.

Seems like you do a lot of steps-just curious why do you skip the 220 grit?
You could use a faster process-start with a 220 genesis where there is etched or worn areas.
You could go right to 220 resin or in some cases 400 resin then go to 800 and polish with a dry polishing powder. Why waste all that time using 5x on a countertop if you don't have to. In most cases a product like MB12 will give you great results quickly.

What do you guys charge for countertops? I have been at $200m2 ($20sf) for a long time, seems to work but I have a large commercial job I am bidding and was wondering how low I could go. Usually I go 400 genisis (electroplated) dry, then 120r, 400r, 800r 1800r, then5x. I will stop ar 800r sometimes but I rather do a quick pass with the diamonds than have to go hard with the powder.
