Diamond polishing pads are versatile and can be used on multiple surfaces, including:

• Marble
• Granite
• Terrazzo
• Concrete
• Limestone
• Quartz

These pads are ideal for achieving a high-gloss finish on both polished and unpolished surfaces.

To use diamond polishing pads:

• Select the right grit: Start with a coarser grit pad for initial grinding and progress to finer grits for polishing.
• Attach the pad: Ensure the diamond polishing pad is securely attached to a suitable polishing machine or tool.
• Wet or dry polishing: Depending on your surface and the specific pad, you can either wet or dry polish. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for optimal results.
• Apply even pressure: Move the machine in a circular or back-and-forth motion, applying even pressure to achieve uniform results.
• Finish with a fine grit: For the final step, use a fine grit diamond polishing pad to achieve a high-gloss shine.

Yes! Diamond polishing pads are perfect for polishing and refining the surface of countertops made from granite, marble, or quartz. They will help restore the original shine and remove minor scratches.

The lifespan of diamond polishing pads depends on the frequency of use and the surfaces being polished. Typically, you should replace them when you notice:

• Reduced effectiveness in polishing
• Visible wear or damage
• Difficulty in maintaining the desired finish

When selecting diamond polishing pads, consider:

• The type of surface you will be polishing
• The desired finish (honing vs. high gloss)
• The grit size you need for your specific project
• Whether you’ll be using wet or dry polishing methods
