Polished Tiles - Maintenance

[kevg]

I am a bit of a genius when it comes to car machine polishing (ok ok, sorry for blowing my own trumpet lol) and I was wondering, just how are polished tiles done and what can I do to maintain them ?

I assume the tiles are machine polished in some way and there has been no laquer or liquid added to bring up that shine ? If that is the case and the stone itself has been buffed to the polished look... my next question is ... say I some how trail a little stone through my tiles with my slippers and cause a few scratches, I am ok to machine polish the tiles to get the scratch out ? Or will my machine pads not make a dent on them ?

They won't touch them if scratches are heavy enough.. light and i mean light ones might buff out..

Stone is polished with varying degrees of grit or diamond pads and even larger drum machines etc till the grit/diamond is fine enough to produce a high polish.. the best results are done with wet polishing.. not one that can be done with a car polishing buffing pad kit i'm afraid.

Thanks Dave, I wasnt holding out much hope.
