MB11 Marble Polishing Compound - 170gms
$92.40
A unique combination of specialty abrasives and catalysts from MN Stone Care that makes the art of marble polishing relatively easy to implement without the need of any power-tool. Mb-11 is designed for spot polishing of most “water stains” or “rings” from polished marble, travertine and any other calcite-based stone.
Be certain to test product first on a spare tile or inconspicuous area for extra caution before use.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: USE RUBBER GLOVES ALL THE TIME WHEN HANDLING PRODUCT. Apply a couple of pinches of powder on the dull spot to be restored and spread it evenly over approximately 2 square inches. Using a spray bottle spray a mist of water over the powder to moist it. Don’t make it too wet. Using a clean piece of terrycloth (a washcloth will do fine) rub the powder back and forth, using the heel of your hand (only a mild pressure is necessary), until the area treated is dry and shiny (it shouldn’t take more than a few strokes). Repeat if necessary. To finish with a “professional touch,” spray a bit more water, then, using the cloth with the area of it where the powder is stuck on the surface of the stone, rub in circles (with a little pressure), starting small and widening, then back, etc. until the stone surface is dry and shiny. This will make for a perfect blend.
For the final cleaning to eliminate any residue, spray a little of MB-5, Marble, Granite & More Spray Cleaner, then rub it dry.

MB-18 Ultra 5 Marble Polishing Powder - 1lbs (0.45kgs)
$91.00
MB-18 Ultra 5 Polishing Powder
(For Professional Use Only)
Ultra 5 is a fine grained Italian crafted powder that exceeds the industry standard, is easy to use and produces a superior finish. This is not your father’s 5X, but one of the best powders on the market. It polishes quickly to a deep gloss all calcite-based stones, like Marble, Travertine, Onyx, Limestone, etc. Ultra 5 will not stain grout lines.
The following are AVERAGE directions. Different stones may require different techniques. If you are in doubt, don’t hesitate to call us.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
- Prepare the surface to be polished by honing it to the highest clarity possible.
- Protect surfaces that could be damaged by splatters with proper masking material.
FLOORS: Target an area of approximately 10 – 15 sq. ft. In the middle of the target area, sprinkle approximately 1 ½ - 2 oz. (3 – 4 tablespoons) of Ultra 5 powder in a circular pattern slightly smaller than the diameter of the floor machine. Using a hog’s hair pad (highly recommended), position the floor machine with a full tank of water on top of the powder. For best results, use 1.5 HP minimum and do not exceed 175 RPM. Release some water and swiftly swing the machine back and forth over the targeted area to evenly spread the slurry. (Note: keep the slurry thick; not too wet) Polish slowly with a spiral motion moving from one end of the targeted area to the other and back. Continue polishing for 2.5 – 4 minutes. Then check the surface with a squeegee. You should have a high polish at this point. Next release just enough fresh water onto your target area to make vacuuming the used slurry easy and vacuum to remove. Then clean with a neutral cleaner such as MB-1 Floor Amore or MB-15 StoneGlow. Now repeat this process on next section.
COUNTEROPS: Target an area approximately 3 – 4 sq. ft. On the targeted surface, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the Ultra 5 powder on the surface to be polished in a circular pattern slightly smaller than the polishing pad you are using. Spray some water on the powder and over the rest of the targeted area. Set the speed of the right-angle grinder/polisher (variable speed is a MUST) to the slowest speed. Using a hog’s hair pad, move the machine over the targeted area slowly, applying steady pressure. Check the surface for results after approximately 2 - 3 minutes. If you have a high polish, semi-flush the section and pull the slurry down to next section and repeat.
COVERAGE: Depending on the type of stone, expect coverage of approximately 125 – 200 sq. ft. per pound.

Below are the specific directions for buffing terrazzo floors and countertops:
Floors:
- Target an area of approximately 10 sq. ft. (1m2)
- In the middle of the target area, sprinkle approximately 2 oz. (50 - 60gms) of product in a circular pattern slightly smaller than the diameter of the floor machine.
- Using a natural blend pad, position the floor machine with water on top of the powder.
- The machine cannot exceed 175 RPM for best results and needs at least 1.5 HP.
- Release 5 seconds of water and swiftly swing the machine back and forth over the targeted area to evenly spread the slurry. (Note: keep the slurry thick; not too wet.)
- Polish slowly with a spiral motion moving from one end of the targeted area to the other and back.
- Continue polishing for 3-4 minutes.
- Then check the surface with a squeegee. You should have a high polish at this point.
- Next release just enough fresh water onto your target area to make vacuuming the used slurry easy.
- Then clean with a neutral cleaner such as MB-1 Floor Amore One Step Cleaner.
- Now repeat this process on next section.
Countertops:
- Target an area approximately 4 sq. ft.
- On the targeted surface, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of product in a circular pattern slightly smaller than the polishing pad you are using.
- Spray some water on the powder and over the rest of the targeted area.
- Set the speed of the right-angle grinder/polisher (variable speed is a MUST) to the slowest speed.
- Using a natural blend pad, move the machine over the targeted area slowly, applying steady pressure.
- Check the surface for results after approximately 2 minutes.
- If you have a high polish, semi-flush the section and pull the slurry down to next section and repeat.
