Did you use diamonds or monkey pads? Impregnated pads will give you that effect and if you got that after diamonds then I think you have to go lower on your grit to flatten the dimples.On Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 2:11 PM, Tony Warney <tony@excelstoneandtilecare.com> wrote:No it was a dimpled effect.

I did a test on some cream colored limestone from South America.Most of the house it looks like a high gloss marble with good clarity.One hall way that gets a lot of traffic where I did the test I could not get the same clarity.The limestone cut really fast. So I started with 400 800 1600 3500 5x Crystalizer.Do you think 1 would get better clarity starting with 220 I did not have time to do a secondtest.
