Tim. I have not seen the 100 DIP. I do have 200. Who sells these?

Jobs like these are always difficult-we give our clients several sample finishes (try to limit it to two) and have them sign off on one of them.
we would probably try a low grit DIP finish as well.

Have you tried the 100g or 200g pads from kgs? They give a very nice matte finish.

I agree  I would redo it to a 400 and maybe a honing powder and leave it at that. Tell them thats the best you can do.  Get the check and run

So I just finished some travertine, cleaned and buff ed with encrusted pads to 1500. Looks beautiful.


The owner says it looks too shiny and is not what they wanted. It is about the same as when I started (the floor has been honed at least once), minus the etches and some minor wear, and it is back to its original color.

They say it does not look like the interior floors which have never had any service at all, have a strong patina, and all the factory swirls on the tile. This is what is making it look “matte finish” the honing grit that the factory finished with, along with years of cleaning and patina sheen.

Now this is what they want me to duplicate for completion. Very low integrity in the parties involved, but have to soldier on. A certain Rudyard Kipling poem comes to mind.

I do have some thoughts on how to do this but wanted to put it out there for the group. They want a buffed over scratch pattern finish, but would look stupid when the scratch pattern is not limited to each tile, but carries thru across the floor. Would look like a stone restoration hack job.

Thinking I might just try to say as little as possible and re do to a 400 pad. They obviously have no idea so might work.

Ideas?
