To use 3-step polishing pads for granite, follow these guidelines based on the provided information:
Preparation:
- Ensure the granite surface is clean and free of debris.
- Decide whether to use the pads wet or dry, as they are designed for both methods .
Step-by-Step Polishing:
- Step 1 (Coarse Grit): Start with the first pad (typically labeled as Step 1) to grind and level the surface. Use moderate pressure and move the pad in circular or back-and-forth motions. This step removes scratches or imperfections .
- Step 2 (Medium Grit): Switch to the second pad to refine the surface, smoothing out marks left by the first step. Continue using consistent pressure .
- Step 3 (Fine Grit): Finish with the third pad to achieve a high shine. This step polishes the surface to a glossy finish .
Additional Tips:
- Use water for wet polishing to reduce heat and dust, but ensure the pads are suitable for wet/dry use .
- The pads work efficiently on both flat surfaces and curved edges of granite, marble, or quartz .
- Avoid skipping steps, as the 3-step system is designed to replace traditional multi-step processes while saving time .
Always check manufacturer instructions for specific grit sequences or techniques, as pad designs may vary slightly.
