Would this be a kit suitable to bring the shine back to etched carrera marble countertop and tiled shower?

I have polished tons of antique carrera marble and the polisher will make it as smooth as glass. Regarding tiled shower, depends on type of tile. If it is stone yes, if it is a ceramic with a finish or some other type of tile I am not sure.

I used this polishing kit on granite and it worked perfectly. Every article I have seen on the internet regarding carrera marble does not appear to recommend machine polishing but the one youtube video showed hand polishing with similar diamond grit pads of increasing fineness. I think that since marble is so much softer than granite you have to be extremely careful and perhaps skilled to avoid damaging the surface with a tool like this.

I have not used it on Marble yet, however I think it would work. Marble is a softer stone than Granite. However, I don't think you would want to use this in the kitchen as the water would get everywhere. However, I assume that if you could protect the wood cabinets and floor you might get away with it. I think I would start the grinding with a medium grit wheel and work my way to the fine grit. Don't use a lot of down pressure and keep moving as you grind. I don't think it will work on ceramic or porcelain tiles.

Yes but be sure to check the size of the pipes/fixtures! You'll need to buy the kit and 2 large shower curtains made for that tub and I'd suggest the extra accessories curtain insert to hold soap , shampoo , etc!

I'm not really sure, but it's worth a try. If it doesn't work, you may want to try silver polish.

It will enhance the gloss look as well as provide a little of additional protection. When I did my floor I've used the Rust-Oleum Professional kits in gray. After doing two coats of the Pro kit the shine was there but some spots had a little duller look to it. After applying this gloss kit it really brought the look of the floor to a nice consistent shine all around. I'm sure you might have heard before but the key in a long lasting finish is the prep as well as using a decent quality product. Stay away from water based and use solids based stuff. My garage floor was a 30 year old bare concrete slab which came out great in the end. My prep involved a floor buffer with a diamond wheel, then pressure washed it few times as well as concrete etch. Here's a picture of the floor after two coats of Professional kit: http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p501/mbzowski/Garage%20Redo/IMG_5161.jpg Here's a picture of the floor after the Clear Shield: http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p501/mbzowski/Garage%20Redo/IMG_5169.jpg http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p501/mbzowski/Garage%20Redo/IMG_5166.jpg

Sorry, can't help you. Don't know anything about honed Granite. All I know is that it works on ceramic tile in the shower. You'll have the contact the manufacturer

Yes it will give it a polished look. Depending on how bad dull it is, you may have to do it fairy often for a time.

Yes, I did it by hand and although it's time consuming it worked great. I have Carrera marble so it should work on yours.

Karen: I would think it would be OK to remove--not sure if it would dull/change the appearance of the granite after removal of the quick shine so obviously try a small test area first.

hey delores, i bought this kit and for the money was great... i don't know how large or small you are going with them but the spaces between the grit might be too great if your pieces are quarter size or smaller! i have no doubt it will polish, just don't know your process. any more questions i'll try to answer, mike

Yes. I bought this to refinish terrazzo shower bases which are essentially concrete and it worked out great.

I use it on my Corian countertops and it does put a shine on it plus it makes it easier to keep clean. If it has been a while since I did I might put two coats on but be careful because it makes the countertop slippery even with just one coat. If you have a soapstone countertop I'd recommend mineral oil to bring out the luster but if your countertop is some type of plastic then the Hope countertop polish will work. Hope this helps.

No, but Ultimate Compound will be much more effective at removing the swirls. Follow with Ultimate Polish and a finishing pad to bring back the clarity and shine.

Depends on your desires/needs. My finished product turned out with a nice shine.

I doubt it since there is no finish on the granite...eventually it might lose small parts of the surface.

Not sure. We used it on granite. I believe it's for products that do not have a glaze or finish on them. If the tiles are pourus then you shouldn't have a problem.

Yes, this is what I use on our solid surface counter tops. It cleans and shines.

I would use with care on cultured marble, testing a small area first. I use it in my travertine shower but the finish is rough not glossy. I would not use it on my shiny marble kitchen countertops. Cultured marble is supposed to have a man made polymer sealant of some sort so if that seal is good you shouldn't have a problem.
