We've been for a while in that situation and high gloss floors... we buff off with the 11,000 grit pad dry and most of the time it will buff out the slight etching, if you need a little more help mist some water with the 11,000 grit and buff till  dry.

 A couple month back we did a floor with such a high gloss that after both those processes we could slightly still see the etching in a few places. So we used just the slightest little mist of white crystallizer and hog hair pad on the few etched areas and that made the marks disappear.

My Lesson Learned: Before that instance, I had thought about removing the crystallizer from the truck cause we hadn't used it in a long time, but that day re-enforced to me to try and have as many tool of the trade as you can with you because you never know when you may need one of them.

Second lesson learned: Extremely high gloss floors with lots of sun light exposure should pay more to restore. LOL!

Yes we use the vortex pads.
We do t use them for polishing however.
The lux works  pretty good on epoxy terrazzo

Nice to hear you worked it out.
From time to time issues on jobs will pop up.
A couple of deep breaths , a little thought and an open mind will usually get you though it.
What are candy vortex pads.
Was it the lux pad
That's the one that has a white face .

Thank you for asking, sorry for being silent we just finished that job yesterday, it was 2500 ft and the first three days were lost as my guys were having major issues, we did end up getting it figured out we did 220, 400 polish, ended up using diamond renew powder and then using the candy vortex pad, the polish left very little etching but 10 sec per tile with that vortex candy pad and it was perfect, thank you for your help

Did you figure out what was causing the etching on that white marble.
Did it work out in the end?

A neutral cleaner will not neutralize an acid, it will just dilute it. You need to use the opposite, ie an alkaline.

I'm running 4oz per gallon of neutral cleaner in the water barrier

Micah,
It sounds like you could be using too much powder or that stone could be very acid sensitive. Do you have enough  neutral cleaner in your water barrier? You could also try other polishing compounds. MB-22 works great in situation like this.
Send a pic of the stone!
