Diafil Spiralux Diamond Pad 17” - How to use

The magic of the new Diafil diamond polishing pads is that you do not need to use any type of chemicals to restore your floors. It is essential to use a heavy low speed floor buffer for the grinding or scratch removal (180 to 220 RPMs) and a high speed floor burnisher for fine polishing (400 -3500 RPMs). 

Step 1: Assess the floor condition and select the most appropriate diamond pad. From grit 30 to grit 400 can be used for heavy duty grinding and scratch removal. If the floor is in a very poor condition, start with 30-220 grit. Apply the same pressure all over the floor. Use the pad on “wet” surfaces only. If the floor is in average condition, start with the 400 grit diamond pad. Take your time and buff the floor well until the water on the floor becomes a white cream. Extract the waste and inspect the floor. If there are still scratches visible, go one more time. The next step should be one more scrub with the 800 grit pad. Same rule. Use it on wet surfaces. Vacuum well, wash the floor a number of times and prepare for polishing.

Using a high speed floor buffer/burnisher, start polishing the floor. Use the 1600 or 1800 grit. Buff until you notice some gloss appearing. Then move to the 3500 pad. Insist well all over the floor. You will notice the gloss getting better. One more fine buff with the 5000 grit pad will create a perfect smooth surface. The 12 000 grit is usually used for daily maintenance on highly polished floors.

The operation described above is only for those floors in need of full restoration. Most natural stone floors in average condition can be restored and polished with 1800, 3500 & 5000 grit pads. There is no need to go through all the pads. 

If your marble, travertine or terrazzo floor looks dull and tired, you can reverse that. All you need is a high speed floor buffer and some time. A quick buffing at the end of the week for 30 min will maintain your marble floor in top notch condition.
