I used diamond renew hogs hair pad rinsed with a gekko. No grits just polishing powder.

Mikes a pullin your chain

However, need to take better before and afters
You have to become a part time photographer
Have to learn back lighting to capture wear and clarity
Other than cleaner grout, can't see much

If it were porcelain it sure is scratched up a lot. My customer let me clean it to practice, and she loved how it came out. Obviously running through the grits would have made it really pop but I just wanted to start with polishing powder to see what kind of results to expect. Took about 15 minutes to do the entry.

Sam, that turned out nice.

I agree with the photo comments. learning how to take the right pictures can work wonders for you. Same position for before/afters is always good. Always show the distinct wear, and the clarity when you are finished. If you start building a portfolio like this, it will sell jobs for you.



1. How much did you charge for the polishing?
2. Using diamonds would have added about an hour or less.
3. Using diamonds cuts your powder polishing time down
4. Using diamonds gives you a better finish after powder polishing.
5. Using diamonds would have doubled the revenue (depending on how much you charged)
6. Why did you choose Diamond Renew?

I got some at a class in Anaheim with Rob Fairfield, the customer is a repeat I do 5 to 6 times a year, I did the entree for free as practice. She is super happy!

I know honing and polishing would add a lot more clarity. I have the diamond pads that's my next step is to run through the grits and then polish.
