Why we choose abrasives and compounds for the stone
Justin prefers resin-diamond abrasives for marble refinement. The pads and the finishing compound do different work: abrasives establish the surface, while the final polishing stage develops the selected sheen. We check the stone between stages rather than moving through a fixed recipe regardless of the result.
Marble and granite do not use interchangeable polishing compounds. Justin uses MB Stone products in his stone work and chooses the formula for the material and task. MB Stone's professional marble polishing instructions, for example, call for a surface that is ready to polish and note that diamond refinishing may be needed beforehand. That explains why a worn floor may need more than a finishing powder.
The assessment also separates a stain from an etch. Material absorbed into stone may need a different treatment from surface damage. We do not promise that polishing will remove every discoloration or solve moisture moving through an installation.
Choosing a honed or polished marble floor
A polished finish gives a clearer reflection. A honed finish has a softer appearance. We discuss the room, existing wear, and the result you prefer, then assess whether the floor can be refinished to that sheen.
