The surface is first wetted and worked progressively using the supplied yellow<\/span><b> MARBLE ONE<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> metal pad, then the white <\/span><b>MARBLE TWO<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> resin-coated pad and finally, the blue <\/span><b>MARBLE THREE<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> resin-coated pad, extending slightly beyond the affected area to help create an even result.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once this stage is complete and the area has been dried, <\/span><b>MARBLE SHINE <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is applied and worked using the supplied <\/span><b>MARBLE SPONGE<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to restore the original sheen. As <\/span><b>MARBLE RESTORER<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a semi-professional product, it is always advisable to test the treatment on a small, inconspicuous area before use. Individual materials and levels of damage can vary, so the detailed instructions supplied within the kit should always be followed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"FILAMARBLE RESTORER - remove acid etch marks from marble\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YzjIW8bhBVI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restore, Protect and Maintain<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restoration can also form part of a wider stone-care routine.
