**Directions for Use**: Different stones might need different methods. If you're unsure, contact us. Before polishing, hone the surface to the clearest state and mask off surrounding areas.
**For Floors**: Work in 10 - 15 sq. ft. areas. Sprinkle 1.5 - 2 oz. (3 - 4 tablespoons) of Ultra 5 in a circular pattern. Use a hog’s hair pad with a floor machine (min 1.5 HP, max 175 RPM). Release water, spread the slurry evenly, keep it thick. Polish in a spiral for 2.5 - 4 minutes. Check with a squeegee, then rinse, vacuum the slurry, and clean with MB - 1 Floor Amore or MB - 15 StoneGlow. Repeat for each section.
**For Countertops**: Work in 3 - 4 sq. ft. areas. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of powder, spray water, set a variable - speed right - angle polisher to the lowest speed. Use a hog’s hair pad and move slowly with steady pressure. Check results after 2 - 3 minutes. Semi - flush and pull the slurry as needed.
**Coverage**: It covers 125 - 200 sq. ft. per pound, depending on the stone type. Always test on a small area for best results.
Hey there! Here's how to use Ultra 5 polishing powder. First, different stones might need different ways of using this powder. If you're not sure, just give us a call. Before you start polishing, make the surface as clear as you can by honing it, and cover the areas around it to protect them from splashes.
For floors, work in small areas of 10 - 15 square feet. Sprinkle 1.5 - 2 ounces of the powder in a circle. Then use a hog’s hair pad with a floor machine (it should have at least 1.5 HP and run at a max of 175 RPM). Add some water, spread the mixture evenly, and keep it thick. Polish in a spiral for 2.5 - 4 minutes. Check how it looks with a squeegee. If it's shiny, rinse the floor, vacuum up the mixture, and clean it with MB - 1 Floor Amore or MB - 15 StoneGlow. Then move on to the next section.
For countertops, work in 3 - 4 square - foot areas. Put ½ teaspoon of powder on the surface, spray some water, and set your polisher to the lowest speed. Use a hog’s hair pad and move it slowly with a steady push. After 2 - 3 minutes, check if it's polished. If it is, clean a bit and move the mixture to the next part if you need to.
This powder can cover 125 - 200 square feet per pound, but it depends on the type of stone. And don't forget to test it on a small, hidden area first for the best results. That way, you can be sure you're getting a great finish for your calcite - based stones like marble, travertine, onyx, and limestone.
