How to Use MB Stone Ultra Turbo Flexible Diamond Pads
Step 1: Evaluate the Surface Condition
Inspect the stone carefully before selecting your starting grit. Deep scratches, lippage, fabrication marks, or severe etching typically require a lower grit such as 50 or 120. For light wear, minor etching, or maintenance restoration, starting at 220 or 400 grit is often sufficient.
Always perform a small test area first to determine the most efficient grit progression.
Step 2: Prepare Your Equipment
Attach the Ultra Turbo pad to a compatible hook-and-loop backer pad and variable-speed polisher. Confirm the pad is centered properly and that your machine is operating smoothly before beginning.
For best results, use a machine capable of maintaining consistent RPMs throughout the polishing process.
Step 3: Keep the Surface Wet
Ultra Turbo pads are designed primarily for wet polishing applications. Apply a steady amount of clean water to lubricate the surface, reduce heat buildup, and flush away abrasive residue.
Avoid allowing the pad or stone surface to run dry during operation.
Step 4: Begin Honing and Scratch Removal
Work the selected grit using overlapping passes while maintaining consistent machine movement. Focus on completely removing the existing scratch pattern before progressing to the next grit.
Do not rush the process. Any scratches left behind at lower grits will remain visible after polishing.
Step 5: Progress Through the Grit Sequence
Move through each grit sequentially, increasing surface clarity with every step:
- 50 grit ā heavy scratch removal and shaping
- 120 grit ā refinement after aggressive cutting
- 220 grit ā light honing
- 400 grit ā surface smoothing
- 800 grit ā beginning polish development
- 1800 grit ā high clarity refinement
- 3500 grit ā final polishing preparation
Clean the surface thoroughly between grit changes to prevent contamination.
Step 6: Refine Edges and Detailed Areas
The flexible design allows the pad to conform to profiles, corners, stair edges, and decorative details. Use lighter pressure around edges to maintain a consistent finish and avoid over-polishing localized areas.
Step 7: Inspect the Finish
After completing the final grit, dry the surface completely and inspect it under direct lighting from multiple angles. Any remaining scratches or haze should be addressed before moving to polishing compounds or final treatments.
Step 8: Complete the Restoration
Depending on the stone type and desired finish, professionals may choose to follow the diamond sequence with a polishing powder or crystallization system to further enhance gloss and clarity.
For marble, limestone, and travertine restoration projects, the Ultra Turbo system provides an excellent foundation for achieving a uniform, professional-quality finish.
