My Concrete counters..

[Mikey P]

Before (five years old, only penetrative sealers, lots of deep etching but no stains.)

After a round of Monkey Pads (400 -11,000) Didn't get all the etching but looks way better.

After Enhancing and Monkey Waxing.

After Padding and Enhancing but before Waxing

After Waxing..

I'm hoping the Concrete specific pads dig a little deeper.
Have to be careful not to go too deep or you'll expose aggregate.


Etching is a fact with Concrete counters.

Got to learn to embrace the wine glass rings.

Hey Mikey,
Nice counters. Did you make them yourself? There is also, a great sealer made by suface 519 called E32K looks natural and is chemical stain resistant. Great job and looks good!

seriously looks good....shoulda got some diamonds and used a orbital on it, then you could have gotten the rings...

and a 11k shoulda made it pop more then that...

I didn’t know you also had concrete counters, very nice. I actually like were that aggregate is exposed. Take a look at my counters below. These pics are after installation, they’re about 7 years old now and really hurt’n to be re-polished. I went mostly with Chengs add mixes and water reducers. Everything every body was doing at the time was either with a bullnose or square edge and I wanted something a little more radical.

Take a look and let me know what you think.

Is that a salt pig on the counter?
