7 Professional Applications for Supershine Diamond Pads (and How to Get the Best Results)

Diamond polishing isn’t just about creating a great finish—it’s about applying the right technique to the right surface in the right setting. The Supershine Diamond Pads System 430mm from Coor & Kleever is one of the most versatile tools in any stone care professional’s arsenal.

Whether you’re tackling a full marble restoration or just maintaining a polished finish, these pads offer a high-performance, chemical-free solution. But how exactly can you use them? Here are 7 real-world applications where Supershine pads shine—literally.

1. Full Marble Floor Restoration (Black to Buff)

When to use: Floors that have lost their polish completely or have visible scratches, dull spots, or wear patterns.
Pads to use: Black → Red → Gold → White → Buff

Why it works:
Supershine pads are designed to work as a progressive system. Start with the Black pad to cut back years of wear, and finish with the Buff pad to produce a deep, reflective gloss—all without chemical polishers.

Perfect for:

• Hotel lobbies
• High-end retail
• Commercial foyers
• Period properties

2. Ongoing Floor Maintenance (White + Buff Pads)

When to use: Floors that are still in good shape but are beginning to dull.
Pads to use: White → Buff (monthly or quarterly)

Why it works:
The White pad reintroduces light reflection and smooths surface micro-texture. The Buff pad follows up with a final gloss pass, restoring that “just polished” look with minimal time and effort.

Perfect for:

• Showrooms
• Kitchens
• Office entrances
• Property management

3. Polishing Natural Stone Bathrooms (Gold + White Pads)

When to use: Bathrooms with marble, limestone, or travertine flooring or wall panels that have dulled from moisture, limescale, or cleaning products.
Pads to use: Gold (wet) → White (dry or damp)

Why it works:
Gold pads enhance colour clarity and remove surface haze. White pads provide the smooth, soft glow that makes luxury bathrooms feel clean and expensive again—without damaging delicate stone.

Especially useful for:

• Ensuites
• Stone-tiled wet rooms
• Hotel bathrooms
• Spa changing areas

4. Repolishing Entranceways and High-Traffic Zones (Red + Gold Pads)

When to use: Where footfall has dulled or flattened a once-glossy floor.
Pads to use: Red → Gold

Why it works:
Red pads help even out wear patterns and reintroduce smoothness, while the Gold pad refreshes the tone and shine. These areas typically need more frequent touch-ups—this 2-step combo saves time while improving finish quality.

Ideal for:

• Hallways
• Reception desks
• Lift lobbies
• Showroom pathways

5. Heritage and Conservation Projects (Red → Buff, low pressure)

When to use: On antique stone or listed building interiors where aggressive grinding isn’t permitted.
Pads to use: Red → Gold → White or Buff (light contact, no sealants)

Why it works:
Supershine pads are mechanical, not chemical, making them perfect for sensitive surfaces. Use them with water and gentle pressure to refresh surfaces without changing their character or damaging the substrate.

Trusted by:

• Conservation professionals
• Restoration specialists
• Church caretakers
• Period property developers

6. Stone Surface Preparation Before Sealing or Coating

When to use: Before applying impregnating sealers or anti-slip treatments.
Pads to use: Red → Gold → Optional White

Why it works:
A smooth, properly honed surface allows sealers to penetrate evenly. Supershine pads help clean and refine the surface, ensuring the finish is consistent and long-lasting once sealed.

Ideal for:

• New stone installations
• Refurbishments
• Pre-sale property prep
• Hospitality fit-outs

7. Post-Construction or Builder’s Clean Finishing

When to use: After protective coatings, grout haze, or dust residue has been removed.
Pads to use: Gold → White → Buff

Why it works:
After all the rough cleanup is done, these pads bring back the depth of tone and gloss lost during construction—without introducing new chemicals into the space. Final buffing ensures the handover leaves a lasting impression.

Used by:

• Floor installers
• Builders
• Commercial fit-out teams
• Property staging specialists
