Granite is a durable and beautiful material that is commonly used in countertops, flooring, and other home features. However, even the toughest granite can become scratched and dull over time. Fortunately, there are several tools and techniques available for removing scratches and polishing granite to restore its luster.
One of the most important tools used for granite scratch removal and polishing is a diamond abrasive pad. These pads come in a variety of grits, ranging from coarse to fine, and are used to grind away scratches and smooth out the surface of the granite. The starting grit for scratch removal depends on the depth of the scratch, but typically, a coarse grit is used initially.
The NSI 300 grit turbo diamond is a popular choice for removing scratches on granite. This diamond abrasive pad features a turbo design that helps to prevent heat buildup and maintain a consistent scratch pattern. The pad is attached to a polishing machine, which is used to apply pressure and buff away the scratch.
When using diamond abrasive pads, it's important to pay attention to the scratch patterns they create. Different diamond grits create different scratch patterns, which can affect the overall appearance of the granite. It's important to use progressively finer grits to create a uniform scratch pattern and ensure a smooth, polished surface.
The NSI 1000 grit turbo diamond is a finer grit that is used to refine the scratch pattern on the granite surface. This diamond abrasive pad can help to remove any remaining scratches or imperfections and prepare the granite for polishing.
To achieve a high shine on the granite, the 1000 Alpha Ceramica resin diamonds can be used. These diamonds are specially designed to work with granite and create a mirror-like finish. The diamonds are attached to a polishing machine, which is used to buff the surface of the granite until it reaches a high shine.
Finally, MB-20 granite polishing paste is applied to the surface of the granite to finish the polish. This polishing paste is designed to enhance the shine and protect the granite surface from future scratches and wear.
Granite scratch removal and polishing require specific tools and techniques to achieve the best results. Diamond abrasive pads are essential for grinding away scratches and smoothing out the surface of the granite. Using progressively finer grits and paying attention to the scratch pattern is important for achieving a uniform and polished surface. With the right tools and techniques, professionals can restore the luster and beauty of granite countertops and other surfaces.
