Hi all, has anyone used Alpha's PVA marble edge polishing discs? I need to polish some chlorine damaged travertine coping and waterline travertine. I've been cleaning and sealing it for a few years now with Lithofin products with decent results. Now the tile close to or in water are becoming very chalky. The new discs I have are an assortment pack of five grits to be used dry and up to 12000 rpm. If this doesn't work I will replace the travertine with porcelain or glass.
Thanks in advance
Craigy
