What Tools You’ll Need

Before you start polishing, gather the following equipment:

Tool / Material	Purpose
MB-20 Polishing Cream	The primary polishing compound
Variable-Speed Polisher / Buffer	Recommended speed: 1000–1500 RPM
Hogs Hair or White Buffing Pad	To work the cream into the stone
Spray Bottle with Water	To keep the slurry workable
Microfiber Towels	For wiping down and final inspection
Stone Cleaner (pH-Neutral)	For post-polish cleanup

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use MB-20 Granite Polishing Cream

Step 1: Prep the Surface

Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and free of wax, sealers, or debris. Clean the granite using a pH-neutral stone cleaner and allow it to dry fully. Mask off adjacent areas (faucets, backsplashes, cabinets) with painter's tape to prevent splatter.

Step 2: Apply the Cream

Apply a small, quarter-sized dab of MB-20 directly to the granite surface for approximately a 2 x 2 foot work area.

Rule of thumb: Do not over-apply. Using too much product reduces friction and slows down the polishing process.

Step 3: Work the Product

1. Set your polisher to a low-to-medium speed (around 1000–1500 RPM).

2. Place your hogs hair pad over the cream before starting the machine to avoid splatter.

3. Work the polish in slow, overlapping pass patterns (left-to-right, then up-and-down).

4. As you buff, the cream will begin to dry into a slight haze. Spray a light mist of water if needed to keep the slurry workable.

Step 4: Buff to a High Shine

Continue buffing until the cream dries out and transforms into a brilliant, streak-free polish. You will feel the pad glide smoothly once the stone has reached its peak finish.

Step 5: Clean and Inspect

Wipe away any residual polish using a clean microfiber cloth.

Wash the surface with a pH-neutral cleaner to remove micro-residue.

Inspect under good lighting. Repeat the process on any stubborn areas if necessary.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

💡 Pro-Tip 1: Always test MB-20 in an inconspicuous corner or scrap piece first to gauge heat and friction levels.

💡 Pro-Tip 2: Keep your buffing pads clean! Dried residue on a pad may scratch polished stone.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use MB-20 on marble or limestone?

MB-20 is optimized for hard stones like granite, serpentine, and hard quartzite. For softer stones like marble, travertine, or limestone, use a dedicated marble polishing compound (such as MB-12 or MB-11).

Do I need a professional machine to apply MB-20?

While a variable-speed rotary polisher yields the fastest and best results, small areas can be buffed using a hand-held angle polisher or a heavy-duty drill attachment with a hogs hair pad.

Is MB-20 a sealer?

No. MB-20 is a physical/chemical polishing cream, not a penetrating sealer. After achieving your desired gloss, we recommend applying a quality granite sealer to protect against staining.
