Re: Need Help with New Stone

Carmela,

The honing powder will make a flat look. there is no shine. So, I do not recommend it. What you need is a polishing compund.

It comes in powder or paste form. Either way, you need to add water to make a slurry before polishing with a pad and machine.

There are many things to consider. and you may need a professional to do the work. If you only polish the dull areas, they may get too high a shine. Thus creating an uneven look.

Pictures and/or name of the stone helps alot too. Since every stone reacts differently to polishing agents; such as serpentines and carreras.

Hope to hear from you soon and welcome!
