Marble Polishing

Polishing marble is necessary when the stone becomes scratched or etched to the point it becomes dull. The other reason marble requires polishing is that the customer has a stone that comes to him as a honed finish and he desires it to be polished. These are the only two reasons I can think of a stone should be polished. Refinishing to eliminate wear or changing the tiles from a hone to a polish.

Stone is available in two finishes: hone or polish. Polish is easy for most people to visualize - it is a shiny, glossy finish, and when viewed across a light source there will be a reflection. This is my definition of polish, I am sure there are others.
Hone finish is a bit harder for a customer to visualize. Honing is accomplished in two ways: with diamond or powder abrasives (there is another way, but lets just stick with the abrasives) These abrasives are available in different grits - from 30 to 3000. The hone finish will depend on the grit level of the process ends with. You cannot go to too high a grit level (usually over 220) or the stone will take on a polish look.

Which gets us back to the subject of polishing marble. Honing is a story for another day.
