Here's my cent and a half-Strip the floor using ax-it(or similar) and stripping pads.Like Tony said see what you have-Is that a black or green border?Based on what the church can afford to pay and the condition of the surface is how you should scope the job.You can deliver a good quality job using quality diamonds and your favorite polishing compounds.The grout may need some extra work due to the waxing and you should explain that early as it may not be uniform.I agree with Tony on Jobs like these polish early(provided its a quality polish) and use a finishing product for maintenance.On Wed, Apr 13, 2016 at 8:26 PM, Pat Staples <cpstaples@msn.com> wrote:I would use the cheetah pad number two and maybe three and then polish with 5X

Sounds like you have two separate jobs here. The first job is stripping The wax off completely 100%
I find most Waterbase alkaline strippers take too long.
We do a heavy duty masking job then hit it with methylene chloride and then scrub it with the black pad and then scrub all the grout joints too at the same time. Then a hot Jet extraction.
I've never had problems dumping the slurry waste out here.
Then you can tell what steps you need to take with the marble polishing.
Most high shine polishing jobs we do we polish after 220 or 400. We hardly ever take it to 1800. And we get a crystal clear glassy shine using the green Dai-glo.
On a lot of marbles it'll just meltaway light scratches and scuffs.
But we always do a test for that because sometimes it just makes the scratches more obvious
We charge $3.50 a square foot for stripping and $3.50 a square foot for marble polishing single stage if we add diamond honey we had another dollar and call it a two-stage

>>> Hi partners I have a church ( pics attached) that has been waxing their marble, it's three years old but is in need or restoration, it's time. I'm curious if anyone has a quicker idea than 220,400 polish in this or if that the only option, also anyone with this type of experience that has put together a maintenance plan for something like this, they have about 2200 people a week
