Ultra 5 is a premium Italian-crafted polishing powder that delivers a superior finish for calcite-based stones, including marble, travertine, onyx, and limestone.
It polishes quickly to a deep gloss and will not stain grout lines.
This is not your traditional 5X powder—Ultra 5 exceeds industry standards with its fine-grained formula for a faster, high-quality polish.
Directions for Use
Different stones may require different techniques. If unsure, contact us for guidance.
Preparation:
- Hone the surface to the highest clarity possible before polishing.
- Mask off and protect surrounding surfaces from splatters.
For Floors:
- Work in a 10–15 sq. ft. area.
- Sprinkle 1.5–2 oz. (3–4 tablespoons) of Ultra 5 powder in a circular pattern smaller than the floor machine’s diameter.
- Using a hog’s hair pad, place the floor machine (1.5 HP minimum, max 175 RPM) on top of the powder.
- Release water and spread the slurry evenly by swinging the machine back and forth. Keep the slurry thick, not too wet.
- Polish in a spiral motion for 2.5–4 minutes.
- Check results with a squeegee—the surface should have a high polish.
- Rinse with fresh water, vacuum the slurry, and clean with a neutral cleaner like MB-1 Floor Amore or MB-15 StoneGlow.
- Repeat for the next section.
For Countertops:
- Work in a 3–4 sq. ft. area.
- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of Ultra 5 powder on the surface.
- Spray water onto the powder and surrounding area.
- Set your variable-speed right-angle polisher to the lowest speed.
- Using a hog’s hair pad, move the machine slowly with steady pressure over the surface.
- After 2–3 minutes, check results.
- If polished, semi-flush the area and pull the slurry down to the next section. Repeat as needed.
Coverage
- 125–200 sq. ft. per pound, depending on the stone type.
For best results, always test on a small, inconspicuous area before full application.
