LOL.I should have edited that to the CEO that hired the guy who invented the buff... That's why we work for ourselves right? I'll be down at the recycling center cashing in on the aluminum cans if anybody needs me...

Exactly. But what we come up with is all ours to make no money with.

I have used the powders to get the final pop too. Abs black is not easy for me to get but I have. Jo thinks it is easy. My favorite method is the rigid 3" discs (not Alpha's) up to 800 then the New tech. 4" pads 1000,2000,3000, then Alpha final buff. The problem with some of the powders is that they get into the pores which hazes the shine. Even the black powder leaves gray in the pores. Sometimes it is only a matter of getting it back out of the pores with sealer or another liquid.

There are three types of impregnation (solvent, water, silicone based), regardless to brand. This will stop most water base stains from occurring. It also will stop the stone from been damage beyond repair.

Each student has the opportunity to perform multiple repairs, honing and the highly coveted art of top-polishing an additional note to the counter top repair class; the students receive a full set of tools including a variable polisher inclusive in the price of the class. Everything you need to get started.” Those who have attended the recent class had this to say;
