Glassy Tile

[Spurlington]

What is this type called? Some areas have a glass like reflection and some areas are so scuffed up it looks dull. You can actually see scuff lines in the traffic pattern. How do you clean it? Will it need some kind of buffing when done?

looks to be a compact limestone.

need to look at those grout lines- looks to be peeling up like it was caulked- hard to tell from pics.

If her goals are hi-polish, would need full diamond and compound

Also need to test for topical, as that first pic looks suspect-as far as shine/ reflection

Yeah..

My guess is topical over Limestone...




How hungry are you?

When I take jobs like this I just tell them I clean only. If they want more than that I refer them to another guy. It would be fun to know how to polish but I don't have the time or drive. Already have a huge customer base for it.

That looks like Jerusalem Gold Limestone...we have quite a bit of that out here. There's many routes to take after stripping the crud off, hone /polish after or just polish after... depends what the customer wants with their budget.

Yes Jerusalem gold limestone-soft stone-seems to have a light coating of wax-after stripping it is a pretty straight forward refinishing job.
Sometimes it could be best to wait until you had some training and the proper tools.

Correct Stuart, I told him the same thing over the phone

you could probably use a 3M stripper pad to remove topical coating and recoat if you didn't want to refinish...
