This email was sent from yahoo.com which does not allow forwarding of emails via email lists. Therefore the sender's email address (qm144@yahoo.com) has been replaced with a dummy one. Unfortunately my lead tech tried to take out a nice scratch on a porcelain tile. The home owner has extra tiles , but before we go the replacement route. We got a nice shine tile but not the same as the surrounding tiles. I found this advice on a recent question " To refinish the porcelain (tiles or fixtures) you can use aluminum oxide powders but it is easier to use a crème cleanser, Pro-Link or Emerald are some of the product names. These will cling and are very effective, will leave a polished finish. " i I tried to access the achieves for to search past topics on this subject but was unable to access the archives. Any advice on service a porcelain tile to a nice gloss would be appreciated.Thanks,Roger @ Restoration StoneworksOn Tuesday, April 21, 2009 5:27 PM, Georgia Rivera <georgia@stonebuff.com> wrote:
Mike,
Alex found a polishing compound used for auto detailing that worked on a porcelain tile floor. He did it by hand with the makita.On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 6:05 PM, Mike Marsoun <nulifesc@bigpond.com> wrote:
Anybody ever refinish a porcelain floor? I just looked at one where somebody used an acid (ammonium bi-flouride or hydrofluoric) for the grout and it etched the tile. It is a mess. I have never attempted to flatten and grind vitrified porcelain tile. For a polishing compound thinking of the Reulin H powder.

The owners out east say they had a guy who refinishes them out there with aluminum oxide. Has anyone experienced this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
