I replied to an almost identical poswt to this yesterday morning!  Nothing has changed

Nothing complicated required.  "Not all Limestone will polish"

So the $64.000 question is make sure it was polished in the first place?  If so and there is no lipping or cracking a simple all round Polishing Powder such as Klindex KP 85 will cut it back sufficiently and polish it back all in one go together with a Natural Hair Pad (Hogs Hair).

Hey Presto!

Came across one that wouldn't polish this week. Did a section honed, no3 pad, polishing powder, nothing zilch. Tried again with all 3 pads nothing.
Was a very hard Limestone should have done a test area but was rushed on quote.

Luckily customer nice guy and was happy with a deep clean and colour enhancing sealer at a slightly reduced price.
