How to Use MB-20® Granite Polish
For Countertops
- For best results use a right-angle polisher (variable speed) with 5 or 7-inch pad driver and hogs hair pad. Set speed to 3 or midway.
- Start by targeting a two square-foot area. Place 1 teaspoon of product in the center of the area then position your machine and hogs hair pad directly on top of it.
- You can add a spritz of water if the product has become dry.
- Slowly, spread the product out, controlling the trigger, while applying pressure to dry the product out. When the product is almost dry, begin to increase the speed and decrease the pressure
- At this point, there should be no splatters. Pull the trigger for max speed, and run the product dry while moving the machine swiftly over the target area. The use of pressure will vary depending on the stone.
- Check the results and repeat if needed. If any swirls or marks appear it is because too much product was used. Remove the marks using a white pad with a mist of water, or if they become stubborn, use any polishing compound (we suggest tin oxide). Adjust the amount of product you are using and continue.
For Floors
- Target an area of approximately 8-10 square feet. Place 2 tablespoons of product in the center and mist with water – just enough to form a semi-thick slurry to avoid splatters.
- Place your floor machine with a hogs hair pad on top of the product and begin to spread it out over the target area.
- Work the product until the slurry dries out, and the stone becomes shiny. At approximately every 200 square feet the pad should be loaded with product and will need to be flipped or changed.
- Use a floor machine that is over 1.5 HP and weight of 135 lbs for best results. When the product dries and begins to polish, a lighter machine may bog down and trip the electrical breaker. In this case, it is possible to polish the floor using a wet polishing method.
These directions are a baseline guide to using this product as it may require different techniques for different stones. If in doubt don’t hesitate to contact us.

Granite Polish FAQs
How do you get granite to shine again?
Granite countertops lose their shine over time due to various factors such as improper cleaning and hard water deposits. To restore the shine to granite countertops professionally, it is recommended to use a high-quality granite polishing compound.
Professional products like our MB-20® Granite Polish can effectively rejuvenate the surface, providing a polished and lustrous finish.
Can you polish granite yourself?
It is doable but not recommended. For reliable and effective results it is advisable to use professional products specifically designed for this purpose. Utilizing a variable-speed polisher grinder with different grit polishing pads and applying a professional-grade granite polishing compound, such as MB-20®, can achieve superior results.
Will baking soda polish granite?
For professional-grade results, it is recommended to avoid relying on household remedies such as baking soda. Instead, opt for dedicated granite polishing compounds like MB-20® that are formulated specifically for polishing granite.
Using baking soda may not provide the desired level of effectiveness and longevity compared to professional products. Dedicated products also ensure a thorough and reliable restoration of shine without compromising the integrity of the granite surface.
