Emerald Sparkle Instructions

Emerald Sparkle® is a no-wax compound for the polishing of worn Serpentine & green marble surfaces. Emerald Sparkle® contains high quality abrasives. Emerald Sparkle® does not replace diamond grinding of marble surfaces; it is used as a part of a no-wax maintenance polishing system for green marble surfaces.

To apply the Emerald Sparkle® system, you need:

1. Emerald Sparkle®, Buff & Go® Plus
2. Floor Buffer (IS-17, 200 RPM weighted).
3. Natural hair pads and steelwool pads grade 00
DIRECTIONS: OPTION I: WET POLISHING

1. Cover baseboard, carpet, etc., with protective plastic and/or tape.
2. Strip the floor (if needed) with Zoom or Strip & Go®
3. Wet marble floor (25 Sq. Ft.). Pour a small amount of the Emerald Sparkle® compound on the floor (about 3 oz. for 10 Sq. ft.).
4. The Emerald Sparkle® mixture should make a slurry of "yogurt" consistency.
5. Buff the slurry with a natural hair pad for about 15 minutes per 25 Sq. Ft.
6. Check level of gloss with a squeegee. When the desired level of gloss is achieved, repeat the procedure in the adjacent area.
7. Vacuum dry the Emerald Sparkle® slurry. Wet again polished area and buff again with the same pad to loosen up excess residue.
8. Vacuum dry, damp mop, let dry.
9. When dry, polish with a dry white pad.
10. When completely dry, mix a small amount of Emerald Sparkle® (2 oz.) with a few drops of Buff & Go® Plus® and buff with the grade 00 steel wool pad until the marble is polished and dry.
11. Repeat the same procedure on the adjacent areas.
DIRECTIONS: OPTION II: DRY POLISHING

Place two ounces of Emerald Sparkle® on the floor and buff immediately with the natural hair pad until dry and polished. To reduce pad friction, if any, spray a few drops of water during the polishing process.
