Can I use these to ROUGH UP a marble bathroom floor that is too slickly polished?

Yes. It depends on grit. If you want it really rough, you may need a different approach.

My guess is they are not the best choice, they are not very flexible .They are really designed for flat surfaces. they did a GREAT job on my concrete countertops. Why not just use some steel wool ?

I don't think you can use either to sand. They are all either scrubbing or buffing. Don't think they are "rough" enough to sand.

I used this polishing kit on granite and it worked perfectly. Every article I have seen on the internet regarding carrera marble does not appear to recommend machine polishing but the one youtube video showed hand polishing with similar diamond grit pads of increasing fineness. I think that since marble is so much softer than granite you have to be extremely careful and perhaps skilled to avoid damaging the surface with a tool like this.

not sure why not - I use on my mexican tile floors they are very porous so they get shiny but not slick - not positive what you mean by faux painted stone

I have seen such tiles used in shower areas but I think that they would be too slippery. I put them on a bathroom floor but also have rugs on the floor.

It would require a power tool; a drill with a rotary buffer pad would work. This is not something you can apply by hand. Good luck! After nearly a year, my floors still shine like glass.

They have a remover called Quickshine Deep Cleaner . Lots of elbow grease. We also used steam on a marble floor. Very difficult.

I don't have a marble floor, but it works great on my ceramic tile, so given that marble is much harder, I think it would be fine.

I do not have first hand use of it like that. But I do not see why not. They are soft enough for Chrome, as long as you use the proper cleaner/polish with the brushes you should be fine. I would expect the small one would work very well in a bathroom.

I would not. These are hard plastic and are mainly for carpets. You could attach some felt pads to make them work on hard surfaces like wood or tile.

I used the pads I got on marble. Not sure how they would hold up on concrete.

I have not but I think they'll work if the concrete is really polished and smooth. And rough would probably ruin the felt lining.

These are made to polish stone by using a series of diamond grit pads that start at about 50 grit up to 3000 then a polish pad. They will give you a glass smooth finish on granite or marble. I don't believe the cement based plaster that is used in pools has a fine enough grain to be polished to this smoothness. Most that I have seen use a coating to achieve the glass smoothness.

I would not recommend using it on stone floors - it's probably best on a smooth surface.

No. To polish rocks you need to use some kind of polishing media and water. I think it would make a bit of a mess with a vibratory polisher.

You probably could, but, scouring is probably not the recomended method. There are cleaners out there thatwould do a fairly good job without ruining the finish on the tub. Talk to your hardware store expert. I believe Kaboom may be one of their suggestions. Remember that stains, lime build up an soap scum may take different products to do the cleaning. Good luck!
