What a great video! I wish we had found it months ago. We have been grinding and polishing the floor of a large closet and bedroom and these pads are exactly what we needed. And your step by step is perfect! Our bedroom floor is almost complete after almost 6 months of trial, error and research. All of a sudden we searched the right term earlier this week and your video popped up and it was exactly what we needed. Thank you!

I just had a new concrete floor poured two weeks ago. It was power troweled and is flat and smooth but it's a little dull in appearance. Can I follow your steps using the diamond embedded pads to polish the floor up or would it have to be polished by diamond grinding?

@UltraChemLabs2 жыл бұрын
We don’t have any recommendations specifically. But we usually like to apply maintenance with a 3000 grit pad. For daily cleaning you can always go over the concrete with a red pad auto scrubber and 1 oz of our cleaner and conditioner to 1 gallon of water.

Hi Utra chem. I wanna ask something. Was the floor polished beforehand? then the video process for maintenance? or that process for the new floor?
@UltraChemLabs3 жыл бұрын
Hi! This process is for concrete floors that require refurbishing/polishing. The floor used in this video has had heavy traffic and zero maintenance for 10+ years. If you have already done a deep polishing starting with the red all the way to the green and maintenance is your goal, you can achieve this by using just the process for the yellow and green pad there after. I hope this helps!

Hi Isai, yes we sell the pads however we do not produce the densifier any longer. You can achieve a similar result without the densifier. But we do provide a concrete sealer for sealing and shine after the polishing is complete. Please email cs@ultrachemlabs.com for an order request. Thanks!

Can I use the red pad on fresh concrete to expose the aggregate, then let the concrete cure (28 days), apply densifier then complete the polishing with pad 2 and 3?
@UltraChemLabs2 жыл бұрын
If you have the time to follow this process Yes that won’t be an issue, it is encouraged to apply a densifier after applying 400 grit polishing. Just be sure to clean the cured surface prior to applying densifier and to allow ample time for the densifier to dry and cure before applying the rest of the pads. I hope this helps!
@johnsheppard64653 жыл бұрын
There are products out there that are used in the Concrete pouring business that will ensure the Pad is clean. OR, ir you mix a solution with 30% vinegar, it will ensure you get all of the Portland (Cement) out of the pad. IT will not harm the pad.

Great video, how much deep can I go with the red Pad (my concrete floor of my patio has pores? and if I want a semi gloss finish or not glossy but yes very smooth what I should do?
@UltraChemLabs4 жыл бұрын
Blue Matrix this polishing method is designed for indoor surface concrete. Therefore if your patio concrete is rough likened to a drive surface you will need a stronger grit to polish it up. However if it is smooth to the touch this method will work fine starting with the red and working your way up to bring up the polish and shine. For a semi gloss I would recommend our Ultra Sealer. You find more information on our sealer at ULTRACHEMLABS.com > products > floor care and pads > sealer. Thanks for watching and let us know if we can assist you further.

Do you have to seal the floor after this process? We are refinishing concrete inside our home.
@UltraChemLabs4 жыл бұрын
belinda cleaves it is not totally necessary but if you desire to preserve the polished concrete and avoid the process of polishing again, our concrete sealer is recommended as a topical finish. 1-2 coats can be applied, and dries clear in a total of 30-45 minutes. This way, any ware will only effect the top coat and not the concrete itself. It is recommended to scrub and recoat the sealer once a year to maintain aesthetic appeal and optimal protection of the concrete. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

"polished concrete creates a lot of dust in its every day use from wear" oh really? And I guarantee that nobody is able to get a gloss reading in the 70s just by using 3 twister pads on a floor that has not been polished before. You'll be lucky to hit in the 40s to low 50s unless you're slopping on a bunch of guard product and burnishing it.
