When we are honing with the pads when we have finished an areas I do what I call a flush. I hold the water value open and make a complete pass over the areas I just honed then vac up . we usually do 20 sq.ft. then vac this keeps your sloppy from drying on the floor. When we hone we use very little water. I tell my students pull you water value open for 3 seconds 1001 ,1003 1003 then start your honing. This is usually enough water. If it areas start to get dry add some water. We also hone using 1 ounce of neutral cleaner for every gallon of water. This keep your slurry suspended and make the cleanup easier. Plus extends the life of the diamond or pad / puck whatever you are using.

John, I never tried it with an extractor either, it is a turn off for me...too much hassle, too much gear. I never tried to work thru several of the grits rather just powder polished. Do you just mop and rinse between steps?

Baird ,
The extractor works well , but we are successful using a wet and dry vac. It the process on how you use the vac and the machine. I don’t have an extractor and do not plan on purchasing one, therefore I had to figure a way to use a vac and get the results. There are a lot of stone restoration contractor that do not have extractors and will not invest in one therefore I come up with a way to use a wet and dry vac, plus you don’t use as much water with the vac system verses the extractor.

Subject: Re: Cheetah Pucks
We have worked with the Cheetah pucks in a number of different situations. Did a complete terrazzo floor in a school from 1-4 and it came out very well and saved some time. Did a test on a granite floor and it also came out well. Also some commercial marble bathrooms using 2& 3. Just started a few months ago and don't have a ton of experience. The downside is that it is a fussy process requiring using a dual pump extractor and the timing has to be more precise. Definitely not a one man job.
