Make stone surfaces shine using the right equipment

First of all,  you need Faber Solid Wax. Faber Solid Wax is a solvent-based wax made to restore the appearance of walls, tops and work surfaces without foot traffic. The formula of this polishing wax is created with high-quality paraffin giving treated surfaces an amazing shine, and enhancing both the tone and look. 

Buffing stone floors with this wax polish defends surfaces from liquid penetration, water damage and staining penetration, due to its water and oil repellency. It is also thanks to this that future cleaning and maintenance treatments became much easier after applying Faber Solid Wax. 

For this treatment, you also need a dry cloth or spatula. For the manual method of solid wax, you need a wool-cotton cloth or white or wire wool pad. However, for the mechanical method, you need a polishing machine.

How to make stone surfaces shine and protect them from water damage and staining

1. Apply Faber Solid Wax

Apply Solid Wax to the surface using a spatula or dry cloth to ensure it is evenly spread across the entire area. 

2. Polish the stone surface

After 5 - 10 minutes or when the polishing wax completely dries, begin polishing and buffing the surface. This stage of the process can be done manually on small areas, or mechanically over larger areas.

For the manual method, use a wool cotton cloth, white or wire wool pad. For the mechanical method, we advise using an orbital or flexible polisher or arm polishing machine equipped with a white, felt or lambskin pad or wire wool. 

Work the surface by brushing and polishing the excess until it is gone. The final result should be even and polished.
