Mike,
I already tried that, the problem I am having is that I am removing texture in the same time as removing scratches. I need something to make the texture back into the stone. I am not that worry about recreating finish as of making the texture the same. At this point I think that I will probably end up buying those antiquing brushes unless somebody has different method or idea.

There is Alpha, Sia, to name just a couple, 5" Velcro backed paper, aluminum
oxide grit and thay work super well on travertine. You keep working them and
as they load they will start to polish, a 400 grit will remove damage then
bring to a high hone similar to most factory finishes. Does take some
practice however.

Partners,
How do you remove scratches from tile which has honed, brushed finish with
bush hammered edges?
Scratches are equivalent of 200 grit and there is about 6sq ft of the
damaged area so I am planning on using Makita. Travertine is the material.
I have 2 tiles to practice and I am looking for any ideas.
Is there a way to do it with out spending fortune on brushes?
