the succession of diamond grits starts at 50 grit electroplated stock removal diamond sanding pads and goes all the way to 400 grit resins. finishing with a dry high gloss burnishing or "vitrification" with specialized pads and liquid spray bottles that will transform your floors into jewelry you can walk on!
you will still need to rent a floor buffer from home depot or any of your local area tool rental companies. it's around $45 a day or $150 a week. the tool rental attached to most Lowe's home improvement stores have a drop off and pick up service for the floor buffer you will need.
the kits comes with a very detailed instruction manual with step by step instructions on how to handle and operate the floor buffer, how to use all the driver plates and diamond pads, as well as how to use the chemicals and nutrients that are in the kit.
the restoration process is done slightly wet at first with a solution of water and different additives using the succession of diamond restoration pads supplied in the kit.
then the final steps are done dry including all the vitrification and burnishing stages where the silica on the surface is turned into glass and where you will see the transformation of your dull dingy terrazzo floors into a highly polished art deco masterpiece.
