I got a bit of a shock there Tony. I found KP85 on Amazon for £100 !!!!!!! then I found a smaller 1k tub on ebay for £40. Cheers for the advise.

Sorry Sean you must of posted when I was typing. In my experience it's to high that machine. If you try it again then go with water at the lowest speed you can Drench the stone and try and keep it as wet as possible someone standing there with a water bottle is you best bet. The marks on your pads may just wash off.

Yes it would of got worse one of the reasons is that a stone can only be polished so much see what your doing is what you do to would your making the surface go tighter and tighter the finer grit you go and sometimes you just have to know when to say stop. Keep practicing at least you have a quality polisher for granite!

Just thought Sean, is the sample you are working on the same as you will be polishing in the future ?

I'm 99% sure its Carrera White.

 

[MARBLE_TONY]

It certainly looks like Carrera but the thing is sean there is A,B, C/D grade ect also there is a Turkish one full of silicon when you look under a microscope it's ........... to polish
