Diamond Polishing Pads
Diamond polishing pads contain industrial diamonds bonded with resin, and are used to polish marble, granite, terrazzo, concrete, limestone and sandstone to a smooth, glass-like finish with a series of steps starting with the lowest grit to the highest grit.
Getting a high-gloss polished surface is a long process that requires time and patience. For best results, don't skip any steps.
1. Purchase a set of quality diamond polishing pads and backing pads.
2. Mount the backing pad to your variable speed wet/dry grinder.
3. Make sure your work surface is securely fixed and will not slide.
4. Mount the 50-grit sandpaper to the grinder and start polishing from left to right at a low speed of less than 1,000 RPM. Polish until most of the saw marks and scratches on the surface are removed.
5. Switch to a 100-grit polishing pad and repeat the same process. You should not see any visible saw marks or scratches after completing this step.
6. Switch to 200-grit and repeat the process.
7. Switch to 400-grit sandpaper and repeat this step. After completing this step, you should see the granite begin to shine.
8. Gradually increase to 800, 1,000, 1,500 grit. You will see a shiny, gleaming surface.
9. Sand with 1,500 grit sandpaper. At this point, you will see a shiny, glassy surface.
