The size of the tiles is 12 inches x 12 inches - a standard here in the US. The marble may be able to be re-polished with some 5x powder but chances are the etch may be too deep and it may need to be resurfaced with diamonds before 5x'd. This is a job for a pro. Sad thing is that most guys here in the US who call themselves restoration pro's will use crystalization and make the marble look like plastic if not done correctly.

It's the same here as well. They use Twister Pads or similar then crystalize it and leave it looking like Orange Peel

  • Pour 1/4 cup of isopropyl rubbing alcohol and two or three drops of liquid dish detergent in a quart-sized spray bottle. Fill the bottle the rest of the way with water and shake gently.


  • Spray the cleaning mixture on your granite counter top to clean it everyday or to restore the shine.


  • Rinse the counter top with a clean rag or sponge wet with plain water to remove any streaks and soap residue.
