With the EDS (Excentr Diamond System) pads, floors can be cleaned, maintained, renovated and finished (polished). Renovation on natural stone can be done on a more traditional method in 3 steps. The pads are also excellent for making combinations between several steps or even resin-boned diamonds. As soon as you use pads, resin bond diamonds or metal bond diamons. It is always advised to touch the surface at least 4 times (2 times back and forth).
In addition, it is advised to work crosswise (1 x back and forth north/south, 1 x back and forth east/west). Always use plenty of water, and vacuum the water every time you change pads. To achieve good results, you always need to do several steps. The maximum follow-up per step is a doubling of the used step. So you start with 400 grit, the next step is a macimum of 800 grit and so on. The only exception is the step between 3000 and 8000, which can be used consecutively.
The EDS pads are the most commonly used tools.
Different grit type steps:
100, 200 and 400 grit These are grinding steps. Choose the 100, 200 and/or 400 grit only for heavy damage. The coarser the grit, the more orange peel (textured surface) will appear on the surface.
800, 1500 and 3000 grit These 3 basic steps are able to reduce a slightly damaged surface to a silky gloss finish.
8000 grit Use this step after the 3000 when you ant more shine. You can let this pad pass the surface as often as you want. The more passes, the more gloss.
