Tenax Marble Polishing Powder - 1kg (2lb. Container)

I was skeptical when I purchased the product. I was not sure if the counter was marble. AI helped me to determine that the counter was marble and the product works.

A full bottle of a citrus elixir spilled on our travertine floor and left a huge, highly visible etch mark. I tried EVERYTHING to fix the etch mark - every shine spray, enhancer and sealer I could buy at the local hardware store and big box home improvement retailer. None of the products removed the etch mark. I ordered this product online as I was not able to find it in any home improvement store. I followed the instructions posted in a review by “Susan”. It worked perfectly! I HIGHLY recommend using this product with an electric buffer. I used an electric handheld car polisher/buffer that I bought for around $40 at a local hardware store. First I lightly sanded the etched travertine with a 400 grade sandpaper and wiped away the dust/residue. Then I used this product with an electric buffer. I buffed the product into the travertine starting with it in a toothpaste consistency and continued buffing the same spot until it became a thin greasy like consistency. It takes a few minutes of non stop buffing for each area. Using the electric buffer with this product makes a mess, but easily cleans up with a broom and a wet mop/rag. I was able to buff only the etched travertine tiles and the finished shine matched the uneffected areas. It was a relief not to have to buff the entire floor! I noticed a review mentioned this product causing coughing. I personally didn’t notice any strong or terrible odors when the container was open. When buffing with the product I wore a face mask and had no issues. This product (and “Susan’s” review with instructions) was an absolute life saver!!

next time i will buy loooots of it. i have 1300 sq ft of Crema marfil polished marble floor.... i normally used other product i bought in specialized stone care shop, in a form paste, it called 'cream' that was nothing creamy about it... anyway, when using it, it left a lot of white residue, that took buckets and buckets of water to wash it off. even a week later i could see it....so this time i was finishing the remains of that product and i got 1 box of Tenax to sample, while i was doing all that mess anyway. here is what o think: - it does not smell like other ppl said, just regular. -does not leave that white ever-lasting -impossibe-to-get rig of residue, washing off very fast and easy. -does fantastic job, leaving almost factory gloss look, mirror-like. I used hog pad with industrial buffer i rented from Home Depot. I used the powder as is, i did not pre-mix into paste. i poured some water on the floor and powder on top, then buffer and off i went. it does take lots of powder to achieve nice mirror finish, as well as patience and time buffing it into the floor.... but there is nothing impossible. you don't need to be a professional, i am an ordinary person. all it takes is TENAX and good buffer. i do not work for tje company or related to seller. and bought tje product like everyone elsw, just found it and decided to give a try!

Works OK but should be used with a heavier, professional polisher rather than a grinder/orbital polisher. Made the floors looks nicer but I will need to re-do them with a rental machine from Home Depot.

Product seems to work well. We used this on our onyx tile floor to bring the luster back to the surface. Despite not wearing footwear indoors, the tile eventually starts to fade a bit. The instructions aren't super clear, says to make a "toothpaste" like consistency, well that doesn't really happen with this product. It's more sandy than it is powdery, so it doesn't really conglomerate into a paste. Watched a few YT videos, and kind of just winged it. Used a 5" orbital sander with these pads: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H1ZF28G/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0 I just used a spray bottle with water, sprinkled some of this product onto the floor, and then wet it all with the spray bottle. Wet the felt pad on the sander, and then started buffing. The stuff gets EVERYWHERE using the sander, but I expected a bit of a mess. Kept the sander moving at all times, and spent maybe 20-30 seconds per tile. Again, not really any detailed instructions how to use, so just went with what seemed right. Immediately wiped the floor with a damp rag, to remove residue. Did this for each section of tiles I was working on, eventually completing the whole floor. Then had to vacuum up the remaining mess of loose material, and wipe the entire floor down again with wet and then dry rags. Finished by resealing the tiles. Whole process for our relatively small bathroom was only a few hours. In the end, the luster has been brought back, but many of the scratches are still there, just looks more buffed now. So, perhaps I could have buffed with the sander on each tile for more time, and maybe that would have smoothed out all the scratches, but the shine is back, so I'm relatively happy. Again, I think more detailed instructions should be provided, or instructional videos be posted so people know the best procedure to get maximum results.

I used this product today on a customer's marble bathroom floor. She used bleach on it thi King it would be good to clean with and of course, it etched it and discolored the natural white of the marble. I have used many polishing powders in the last 10 years, and will say that this product is the best I have ever used. It worked quickly and removed the etched areas within a couple minutes. I used an orbital random polisher, hogs hair pads and this product. You must make a poultice with this product by putting a small amount of water down on the tile, then adding some of the polishing powder and mix it up into a poultice (a wet paste). Then wet the pad by dipping in buckwt.of water, shake out excess and put it on the polisher. Turn on to almost full speed on top of paste, using medium pressure, polish in small circles until desired results. I recommend this products to DIYers and pros.

It did not work for me at all, no matter how I tried. Used a special polishing machine, a grinder with polishing pads, and tried to polish by hand. Did on just clean marble without noticeable etching marks, also on marble honed with diamond pads up to 3000. BE AWARE that there are larger particles which can scratch your marble. I sifted it before using once noticed scratches. No shine, just a mess, more scratches, and waisted time...

The price is right and it does a really good job. I used my Oreck floor orbiting machine and polishing pad. Sprinkled maybe 1/8 cup of this powder for a 4 x 4 foot area, used a spray bottle to moisten with water and did 6 swaths back and forth in different directions and then rinsed - a lot of rinsing. Looked just as good or better than when I had it done professionally for $500 on a 10 x 10 foot area in my kitchen I had polished recently to fix some etching caused from dropping a bottle of vinegar. This is good stuff!

We have 2 marble tables over 100 years old - buffing with this product bought back a shine I had never seen - a few comments on it - where protection as it is not nice on the skin- cover stuff up as I did on grass and grass turned brown. It is tough to get the right consistency so be patient and use a good buffing pad - do not have it spinning too fast as stuff will fly around and you may damage what you trying to do

I had trouble removing soap scum accumulated on the red Alicante marble floor in the shower room. I last engage professional service to polish it in mid 2019. There’s a persistent cloudy look no matter what cleaner I use. Super fine steel wool #0000 works but sometimes leave rust on the white drain cover. Recently I discovered I can use this polishing powder with the 700g electrical brush I bought from Taobao. I just need to use the sponge attachment. It removes the white film on the marble without making it slippery. I also use my Bosch orbital sander with the sponge to polish marble tops. This is a new Bosch model which seems to move faster than my previous one. I get powder flying all over the place due to the faster speed. I have gotten better results with the broken sander that I replaced. For polishing surfaces, the tool matters. I hope to figure out how to do it right with my new sander. I do get a shine after a messy polishing session, but just not the shine that removes etched marks.

Lo voy a probar

This polishing powder is the real thing, finally I am able to get my marble floor to a real shine. I have try all types, diamond disk, all the way to 6000 grit, ceramic disk, but all left a haze behind. I cannot get the shine back. Finally with this powder it works. Should have know it, mate as of wasting so much time

I think this powder might work on marble that isn't in bad condition. I could not get the shine I wanted, it actually seemed to leave a film on the surface that prevents that mirror like reflection. It doesn't have any real effect on dull or worn surfaces.
