Kris,

The only way the granite would have gotten scratched is if you honed the
marble and got on the granite. if you just polished the marble and did no
diamonding honing then it's impossible to scratch the granite with marble
polishing powders

Now my question is why did the granite have a coating on it? We the coating
on the granite to cover up damages from pervious services? There is a reason
the granited was coated and the marble was not coated.

You are probably right the franchise was probably a new franchise that did
not know what they were talking about.

I had a job that the granite had a coating on it. The granite was on the
border. We did not realize there was a coating on the granite as there
was not one on the marble.
After the job the customer had Marblelife come in to look at the granite
and the Marblelife franchise is only a few months old. They tried to
tell the customer that the granite floor got scratched from our
polishing process and that is not possible from all the years I have
services these floors. I have never seen granite get damaged from marble
polishing.
What about you.
