I would try that area again going deeper.
I would go back with a hand tool do 80 grit sandpaper or 70 electroplate on one tile.
Then go to 800 resin- polish and see what you get.
Bet it comes out great.
Make sure it's dry before you polish.

It looks dimpled. Almost has the look of a light sandblasting. it does not feel dimpled.
I found out that the same guy had been doing her floors for 17 years. I am sure he used crystallizer.
He also did a few hotels that I know he crystalized, Another company was in here just before me
and did not even get a good cut anywhere that was bad. the floor does not have any orange peel looks.
I was wondering if the crystallizer build up could affect the limestone. Most of the non traffic areas have a high gloss
finish, with really good clarity. In the high traffic area that we tested that was severely beat up we were able
to remove all the scratches, but could not get the clarity.

Just curious -does it feel dimpled or just appear dimpled?

I didn't get to see a pic,but this sounds like "orange peel",as a result of over polishing.
I rarely take polished limestone above 800 before 5X, or MB 12, I don't see any added clarity or benefit ,the higher the diamond,takes almost no compound,and you have to be fast to avoid "orange peel" from burning the floor to hot,with whatever acid polish compound you use
Run your 800 again and polish as usual, you will get the clarity your looking for
I always burnish 3000 or 6000 depending on stone,high speed, to get that deep 3D polish

No it was a dimpled effect. Almost like a light sand blasting.
When you look at the light reflection on the floor it is defused
and clear sharp reflection.

Tony,
I almost always start jobs with a 220 cut.
It eliminates most abrasion from the surface.
However-in your case I don't think the beginning cut was the issue.
I suspect after doing 4 cuts on a cream colored(very porous) limestone the stone retained moisture.
When you tried to polish did you get a blotchy result.
We cut those stones and go back next day to polish-
They polish up great when dry-

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 second
test.
