Have you rented or want to rent a floor buffer and you're not sure how to use it correctly?
In this guide, we explain the complete process for achieving a professional finish on marble and terrazzo, using the right products and avoiding common mistakes.
What does the polishing process involve?
The floor polisher is a powerful tool that, when used correctly, can transform the appearance of any hard floor. The process is carried out in two stages, each requiring a specific product and fresh steel wool.
Phase 1: Pink Crystallizer
Attach steel wool to the floor polisher's disc. (Try to make the steel wool layer as uniform as possible to prevent the machine from "skipping" or "bouncing.")
Apply a thin, even coat of pink crystallizer to the clean floor and buff it dry using steel wool.
Move the machine slowly in semicircular motions until the product is absorbed and begins to produce a shine.
A loose dust will be produced that can be swept up.
Important: Always protect your hands, as wool can cut.

Change the wool
Remove the used steel wool after applying the crystallizer.
Clean the drive plate if necessary.
Attach new wire wool before applying the next product.
Phase 2: White polish
Apply a fine and uniform coat of white polishing agent applied over the already crystallized surface.
Use the floor buffer with new wool to activate the product and enhance shine.
Work in sections, without going over the same area too much.
Practical tips for operating the machine
Do not press the machine downward: let it work under its own weight.
Move in semicircles or an S-pattern to avoid marks or grooves.
Avoid damp areas or places with traces of dust before applying the products.
Do not mix products or reuse wool between phases.
Clean the machine after each use and check the wiring.
