Something you may want to consider-If you guys are trying to polish this floor after extensive honing it may be possible the floor is holding some moisture and will be difficult to polish.
Let it dry overnight and then polish-you will get much better results-
As far as picture frames-these floors are easy to grind-something to consider.
If the framing is slowing you down-consider running aggressive diamond impregnated pads after 220 resins to eliminate them-

Ok,  thats what my partner tried today, but he wasnt happy with the equalness of shine between the two colors. We have gone to a hertron one step,  which really pops the black, but we couldn't get the carrara up to the level that we wanted to be.  We are still in our sample board stage, so I'm not too worried about the time, I just want to make sure we are totally dialed in before we get on the job.  I will have him retry with a different Polish.  As you know, it's a fine line between awesome and orange peel.

All the floors are beat with tons of lippage.  I have to deal with picture framing, which I'm not to worried about that.  I would actually be afraid to try and grind it flat because of how uneven the floor is, I would probably be down to the subfloor LOL

Thank you.

Hi Dean,
What is the present condition of the floor.
Both materials are quite soft so starting with 220 resins should be sufficient. Take the diamonds up to 1800 and polish with a good quality 5X.
Then after its dry lightly crystallize
