The document provides instructions for a 4-step process to polish concrete floors using common cleaning equipment and inexpensive materials. The process involves cutting the concrete with a 200-grit diamond ring, densifying it, polishing it with a 400-grit resin pad, and applying a stain protector. Additional options like staining and exposing aggregate are also described. The standard charge is $2-2.50 per square foot. The materials kit costs $325 through a PCN special offer and allows polishing of approximately 1,000 square feet, yielding $2,000-3,500 in profits.

MADE EASY

2. Can you make my concrete floor shiny?
• Most of your customers will ask if you can
make their concrete shiny, not will you Polish
my concrete?
• The answer is yes. In just four easy steps.
Five if the customer wants it stained or dyed.
• The result of this process is what you see in
Lowe’s, Home Depot and Costco locations
across the country.

3. Do I have to buy expensive equipment?
• The answer is No.
• Most carpet cleaners and other cleaning
companies already have the adequate
equipment which can be utilized for the
process being outlined on this presentation.

6. WET DRY VACUUM

7. Are the materials I need expensive?
• No. The cost to do approximately 1000 sq.ft
starts around $475.00.
• If you are going to stain or dye the cost will be
an additional $100.00 to $200.00.

8. What is the typical charge per square foot?
• The industry standard for the four-step
process is $2.00 to $2.50 sq.ft.
• Staining or dying is an additional $.75 to
$1.00.
• A $475.00 to $650.00 investment will yield
$2,000.00 to $3,500.00 in polished concrete.

9. What materials do I need for the 4-
step process?
• Stone Pro 17” 200 grit Semi Metallic Diamond
Flex Ring
• Stone Pro 17” 400 Grit resin DOT Pad

10. 17” Adapter ring (Optional)

11. 17” and 20” Hogs Hair Extreme pad

12. •SmartKrete Lithium Densifier
(1 gallon = approx. 1000 sq.ft.)

13. SmartKrete-Smart Guard Polish &
Stain Protector

14. 2 to 4 Wet Microfiber Mop Heads and Swivel Handle

15. 2 to 3 Chemical Resistant Sprayers

16. Acid Stain or Acetone Dye (optional)

17. Lets get started
1. Find water source.
2. Identify power sources.
3. Mask off surrounding areas.
4. Sweep the area to be polished making sure
you don’t get any debris under your machine
that will scratch the concrete.

18. Ready to polish

19. Step 1
200 grit semi-metallic diamond ring dye/stain, densifier and
polishing prep
1. Mount the Stone Pro 200 grit semi metallic diamond ring
to the adapter or 17” hogs hair extreme and place under
the machine.
2. Apply a fair amount of water to the concrete and begin
cutting.
3. Cross cut the concrete. Depending on the condition of
the concrete you will make 15 to 30 passes.
4. Add water when finished and extract up.
5. Let floor dry so you can properly see the concrete.
6. You should see no swirls marks or scratches. If you do
you have more work to do before moving on.
7. Added weight to your machine speeds up process.

21. Step 2
Densify the concrete
• The use of a densifier is
absolutely necessary to
properly polish concrete.
• The lithium fills the
micro-pits and pores
which allows for full light
reflection and hardens
the concrete for better
polishing.
1. From a sprayer, coat
your microfiber mop.
2. Spray the concrete with
a moderate coat of the
densifier then mop
evenly.
3. Allow floor to dry
naturally. DO NOT use
an air mover.
4. You are ready to
proceed to next step 45
to 60 minutes after the
concrete looks dry.

22. Optional Step
Acetone Dying
• Dying or staining is an option
process.
• If your customer wants this
done, you will need to do this
step right after the 200 semi
Metallic diamond rings and
before densifying.
1. Mask off well.
2. Pour the contents from the
bottle into one gallon of
acetone.
3. Begin spaying the dye into a
bucket then move the spray
onto the floor. This helps to
prevent dripping.
4. Mop it as evenly as possible.
5. Don’t be too concerned if the
color is not consistent. The
400 grit resin DOT pad will
even out most of the
inconsistencies.
6. You are now ready to
densify.

23. Acetone dying and Densifier

24. Dye and densifier down

25. Step 3
400 grit DOT pad polish
1. Mount the 400 grit resin DOT pad to the adaptor or hogs hair
extreme and place below your machine.
2. Cross cutting is no longer a must but does help consistency.
Especially if the concrete is not even.
3. It will take 15 to 20 passes to get full color out of the concrete.
Again added weight to your machine makes the process faster.
4. Add water and extract up. Let floor dry so you can properly see
the concrete.
5. You should see no swirls marks or scratches. Continue grinding
until swirls and scratch patterns are no longer visible.
6. You should have some reflectivity coming from the concrete.
7. Once you are satisfied with the polish let the floor dry . The use of
an air mover is ok at this point.
8. Make sure to clean up all residue prior to moving on to next step.

27. Applying the guard
• What does the guard do?
– Provides an extremely high
shine.
– Gives high quality reflective
properties.
– Protects the concrete from ALL
spills, including oils and acids.
– Adds slip resistance
1. From a sprayer apply the
guard to your microfiber
mop.
2. Put a very thin coat on the
concrete. More is NOT
better.
3. Let dry naturally. No air
movers. Wait at least 60 – 90
minutes.
4. Place the 20” hogs hair
extreme on your burnisher.
5. Burnish the concrete 4 to 6
passes.
6. Repeat steps 1 - 5

28. Preparing the burnisher for guard

29. Applying the guard

30. Time to get PAID!!!!!

31. Additional options
PAINT OR MASTIC REMOVAL
• Soy based stripers like Franmars Beanie-Do or
Soy-Gel
• Mastic blades
• Lower grit semi metallic diamond rings

32. Exposing aggregate
• Consist of three lower grit
semi metallic diamond
rings. 30, 50 and 100.
• A minimum of 100
pounds needs to be
added to your machine.
• Time involved is at least
tripled.
• An additional $2.50 to
$3.00 sq.ft. needs to be
charged.

33. Going to a higher natural polish with
no guard
• This involves as many as
higher resin DOT pads
(800 and 1800) and a
Stone Pro M3 DIP.
• Not near as time
consuming as exposing
aggregate but you still
need to charge $.60 to
$1.00 sq.ft. per step.
• If a guard is used there is
no need to go higher than
the 400 grit DOT pad.
