How to Pick a Diamond Polishing Pad for Granite, Marble, or Engineered Stone

After 27 years serving Stone, Tile, and Concrete businesses, BB Industries knows a thing or two about polishing pads. And it's our pleasure to share them with you here.

When you're looking for a polishing pad, the main things to consider are the material (granite, marble, engineered stone), the stone's color, the thickness and flexibility of the pad, whether you're going to polish wet or dry, and whether you need a special application.

We hope this video will help you pick the right pad for your next job!


We've got a pad for every purpose and every person!

Great explanation! After using the pads, what do you need to do to get a shiny mirror finish ?

Thanks, there was a store near me that only sold 7 step pads and the resin was green and it always stained the marble so I had to clean it so hard and for some reason when the green water touched any white cabinet it would damage the pint and take off the coating if that cabinet uses I wiped it once it’s fully dry.. very odd

Can you recommend something for our application? We have a black galaxi granite shiny and need to polish it around the sink cut out

[thsinner]

That seems very helpful. thanks
I am just now looking in the market for a wet polisher for use in the UK, do you know if the makita pw5001c is available with a UK plug, and whether or not this is a good choice for the home user doing composite resin pieces (crystal impregnated resins) ?
Most of my stuff comes out the mold fairly flat but never perfectly mirrored and there is often overspill from a surrounding frame from a different composite colour. So, if the stuff is usually flat would a three pad set along with an asymetric 3000 or higher for the final polish and a 50 grit to remove the overspill be enough you think?

How does one tell if a stone is engineered... I found thousands of square feet of random cuts from a Kitchen design company on Craigslist... It's all mine now. And I have projects to do. My guess is that most of it is engineered with some obvious granite and basalt... But I can't tell the difference between marble and engineered.

What are the materials from which the marble polishing powder is made?

I understand you guys are doing this video with the idea that individuals who are brand new to the industry will be your primary audience. However, even for the aforementioned scenario, many of the explanations come across as needless and imply a predisposed assumption of the viewers ignorance and stupidity. Much of this information is quite self-explanatory, and rather than appearing to convey this information to a monkey instead of a human, you could have introduced the topic with a brief summary, subsequently continuing onto a scientific breakdown as to what is occurring in the most minute of aspects within the polishing process.

As I said earlier, you have hardcore rookies in mind so I understand your thought process behind this ideology. However, despite your amicable intentions, not only did you fail in accomplishing this goal, you also turned off countless viewers by making them feel as if someone is explaining how to breathe to them.

Other than that, I loved the video! You had great cadence, body language, pace of speaking, confidence, the list goes on.

Thanks for the great video!
