EUROPEAN SPARKLE®

European Sparkle® is a No wax, no acid, very fine compound for the polishing of marble, travertine and limestone. European Sparkle® polishes newly installed marble surfaces without reducing the clarity of the stone. European Sparkle® can be used as the final step of polishing the marble following its restoration with the diamond grinding system. European Sparkle® does not etch marble.

To apply the European Sparkle® system, you need:

  1. European Sparkle®
  2. Floor Buffer (IS-17 200 RPM weighted)
  3. Natural hair pad and white buffing pad
  4. Wet vacuum cleaner, clean mop, bucket, wringer and floor squeegee.

DIRECTIONS: OPTION I: WET POLISHING

  1. Cover baseboard, carpet, etc., with protective plastic and/or tape.
  2. Strip the floor (if needed) with Strip & Go™ or Zoom.
  3. Wet marble floor (25 Sq. Ft.). Sprinkle a small amount (3 oz./25 Sq. Ft.) of the European Sparkle® compound on the floor.
  4. The European 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 European 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.

DIRECTIONS: OPTION II: DRY POLISHING

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