Many thanks guys, I've got hold of some Australian stuff that claims to do the trick. I'll let you know how it performs with a few pics if I can. I'll also get a bottle of Renue as well to test out.

Thanks for the advice guys.
 
Well I've tried the Australian polish that I brought, probably a nice polish but it failed to get the swirl marks out of my floor. So I think a bottle of Renue will be in order. I was just reading a thread on Twister pads and wondered if they are worth a try or the pads mentioned above.

I messed this floor up from the beginning really, I didn't know it had to be sealed for a start..... I've brought some sealer now but there's a load of polishing to be done first. I also seem to remember using my DA and course compound pad to try and shine the floor up previously, that's probably where the swirl marks came from in the first place.... Oh well, lesson learned 🙂

As my floor is only small I'm going to use my DA if it needs cutting back, obviously it's electric and I'll be using some care where water is concerned, any tips on pad selection would be handy and the method.

Dry pads would probably be better using a DA but those Twister pads with light water sound interesting.

I do love polishing with my DA so I'd be quite interested to see how good a job I can do with my floor.

I'm currently setting up a home maintenance company, grass cutting, window cleaning etc. I intend to offer other services on the side, one of which will be re-grouting and deep cleaning of bathrooms and kitchens so I appreciate your advice guys.

I'm certainly NOT a tiler and have very limited knowledge of the different products. Whilst I've tiled my place and several others over the years I would like to take a course and learn the trade properly.

I find tiling very rewarding and the end result stunning when the effort is put in. I'd certainly like to offer it as a service but I'll need some training first I think.
 
I use twister pads...good maintenance pads.
Well it looks like we could be local to each other Enduro, and having just looked at your site I can see you know what your talking about. I like those work shots, very shiny mate.

Would you suggest using the three step Twister with a little water? I guess I should post a pic of the floor first. I'll take a pic a little later and post.

Where are you then?
 
Hi I am new to this site. Can anyone help me I am trying to restore my bianco crystal marble floor tiles. I have honed the tiles using diamond polishing pads. I started with a 50 grit pad working up to a 800 grit pad but the tiles are still very dull.
Can anyone help me to get my tiles to a high gloss finish.
