What Does MB-22® Polishing Powder Do?
MB-22® E-Z Polishing Powder is formulated to enhance the finish of terrazzo and calcite-based stones.
- Restores Shine: It brings back the natural shine and gloss of the stone surface that can dull over time due to wear and environmental factors.
- Smooths Surface: MB-22® smooths the stone surface, removing minor imperfections, and contributing to a more uniform and reflective finish.
- Enhances Durability: By polishing the surface, MB-22® also helps to protect it against further wear and tear, making the stone more durable and long-lasting.How to Make Terrazzo Shine
To make your terrazzo shine, use MB-22® E-Z Polishing Powder, designed specifically for terrazzo and calcite-based stones. Start by preparing the surface; ensure it is clean and honed to the highest clarity possible. Then, apply MB-22® according to the directions provided in the next section.
Preparation:
- Mask your work area to protect surfaces that you are not tackling at this time.
- Wear proper protective equipment like safety glasses and gloves.
- Make sure the surface is free of any coatings, waxes, sealers grease, and/or soil.
- For best results use a right-angle variable speed grinder/polisher with a 5-inch pad driver and a hogs hair pad.
Directions:
- Use about a 1/3 oz of powder per 2-3 square feet (note the amounts will vary) of product and use enough water to create a wet paste but thick enough not to make a splattering mess.
- Start by placing the product in the center of your target area.
- Add water to make a paste. Should be the consistency of toothpaste.
- Place your machine with the hogs hair directly on top of your paste.
- Starting slowly spread the product out over the area. (The use of pressure will vary depending on the stone but generally, you can apply even light pressure.)
- Run the machine on a slow setting for about a minute per sq. ft.
TIP: Working with this polish, you will find you are able to get a good result close to edges, sinks, faucets, tub surrounds, and tight spaces. A white pad cut 1/2 inch over the diameter of the pad driver protects the fixture or surface you are polishing against. Also, note that every stone is different and may require tweaks in the amount of product or technique.
