MB-20 Stone Granite Polishing Compound - 2.2lb

Had a 4'x2' piece of dark granite that need to be cut down and bull nosed for a friend/client. After cutting it down and diamond polishing to 3K the stone regained its polish and looked very good but just didn't shine or pop like the untouched part of the stone did. So after reading reviews and watching some video demos I purchased the MB-20 Polishing cream and a recommended hogs hairs pad together. I must add that I was a bit reluctant and skeptical due to the somewhat high combined cost and the fact that I felt my diamond wheels should of done the job. So at first when I opened the product it wasn't a cream/paste at all it was more a liquid form as some have indicated in previous posts. Not sure why it broke down, but not at all like what was shown in videos. I proceeded to apply a teaspoon of product, because not a very large area was being polished and began at low speed on my polisher and as it began to dry up and resistance was felt I upped the speed to about midway and increased my sweeping speed across granite until it was all burnished in. Let me say Wow, I am glad I took this next step, the color depth and shine just popped and a darker mirror shine came out after one application of burnishing this into the granite. I ended up doing the whole stone because the original part looked like it could use a little care now. This MB-20 combined with the hogs hair really did the job and my previous reluctance turned to joy when completed. To add to it, I used hardly any product and the pad held up very well and now I have it for some future projects that I know are coming up.

Good for stone and concrete countertop polishing

Amazing stuff. When we had our granite countertops installed, they left about a 10" seam that was dull (they sanded it to make it flush) and edges that were dull. It took us about two years to get them back out to look at it and they said they would charge $930 to fix their poor quality. The kitchen would have to be taped off with plastic to prevent a mess, etc. Typical craftsmanship any more it seems. I purchased this polishing creme along with the recommended hogshair polishing pads and in about one hour had the entire countertops and edges shining better than when they were installed. No plastic or taping necessary, but I did already have a variable speed polisher. It polished up the seam so easily(with no mess), it was hard to believe. Of course, all of the "professionals" we had contacted told us not to try this on our own or we might ruin the granite. Horse pucky. I'd say it made our tops about 30% shinier than new. You won't be disappointed!!!

Product does not meet expectations. I think it was a waste of money

I needed to use more than I thought it would take but it finally got the granite to shine

I purchased this with the intention of resurfacing a couple of granite counter tops that, over the years, had built up scuffs, water marks, etc. As I had never shined/resurfaced granite before I was extremely paranoid about destroying them. After watching endless videos and reading plenty of reviews I purchased this product and couldn't be happier, this stuff is amazing! My counter tops shine like glass now! Just make sure you start at a very low speed (300-600 rpm) and only once it's spread really thin increase to 2 or 3 thousand, otherwise you'll have this stuff lining your walls! :)

We have been struggling with our new Pental quartz counters, our fabricator left some hazy marks on them and then we accidentally damaged them by a cleaning product with light abrasives i.e.Barkeepers friend was used on it and left patchy haze spots. I was told by the manufacturer there was no way to fix the counter on-site. I had nothing to lose, I purchased MB-20, a Makita 9227C polisher and grizzly hogs hair pad. WARNING, you will need to be prepared to polish the entire counter as the final result will glossier than the factory snakeskin finish. After many hours it came out great, and in our eyes now looks better than the factory finish. This is not a fast process, prepare to spend hours. I found the best way was to start with a small dob of polish and few drops of water and start off on low speed until the polish cream started to dry (no splatters) and gradually increased the speed until the water evaporated and you feel some friction, then I stopped and added a bit more water and repeated over the area. I used setting 3 on the Makita and varied the speed with the trigger and just focused on a small area at a time.

Expensive, but works very well.
