Limestone High Gloss Polish

 Limestone polishing is a very important step in the limestone stone restoration process.

Just polishing marble in Scottsdale, AZ without honing will not remove unwanted etch marks or accumulation of scratches on the marble floor. Honing the limestone is always recommended before polishing. Honing is the complex process of restoring limestone floors or other surfaces with the use of diamond encrusted pads to scratch, or hone the marble surface. Honing limestone first starts with a course grit diamond pad, removing a layer of limestone and continuing to finer grit diamond pads to attain the desired polished finish. The last few honing steps are mechanically polishing limestone.

Once the limestone surface begins to have some reflective properties, the last step is to polish the limestone with polishing powders in Scottsdale, AZ. This step is chemically polishing as opposed to mechanically polishing, and should only be done after the honing process. An etch mark on marble occurs when an acidic liquid comes in contact with a limestone surface reacting with the calcium in the limestone. If the etch mark is not too severe, sometimes polishing the limestone in Scottsdale, AZ with a powder will remove the etch mark. However, if the etch mark is too deep, honing is necessary to remove the etch mark and then can be polished.
