MB-20 Granite Polish is an exclusive proprietary blend of abrasives and polishing agents that represents an industry first and definite breakthrough for polishing granite, mercantile granite and serpentines. Also works on serpentinites, ophicalcites and engineered surfaces. MB-20 Granite Polish can be tinted to match any color surface by using powder or liquid tints. If using MB-20 on darker granite, we recommend tinting the paste before polishing. Recommended pads to use with the MB-20 can be found here: Hogs Hair Pad or White Polishing Pad.
Available in 8.5 oz. or 2.2 lbs sizes.
Approximate coverage for one 2.2 lb tub is 400-800 sq ft.
Approximate coverage for one 8.5 oz is 200 sq ft.
Once pad becomes saturated, the coverage increases.
Directions:
Countertops:
- Always make sure proper masking of the work area is utilized to protect surfaces that could be splattered by product.
- Wear safety glasses and gloves.
- Make sure the surface is free of any coatings, waxes, sealers, grease and/or soil.
- If the surface requires honing, use quality diamond pads and hone surface to at least 1000 grit or higher predicated upon the clarity of the stone.
- With your variable speed right angle grinder (a must have) attach a pad driver and a hogs hair pad and set the speed to mid-range.
- Use about a ½ teaspoon per sq ft (remember the amounts will vary) of product and a small amount of water (1/2 tablespoon).
- Target a 2 sq ft area and place the product in the center of your surface.
- Place your machine and hogs hair pad directly on top of the product and water.
- Starting slowly, spread the product out controlling the trigger while applying pressure attempting to dry out the product.
- As the product dries, increase the speed, while moving the machine swiftly over the targeted area.

- If the surface requires honing, use quality diamond pads and hone surface to at least 1000 grit or higher predicated upon the clarity of the stone.
- Target an area of approximately 8-10 sq ft
- Place product in the center of your target area using 2 tbsp of product, spray with enough water to wet the product so you get a semi-thick slurry that will not produce splatter.
