A polished finish is built step by step, and every grit stage has a job to do. Burnishing pads are the final, non-sawing finishing stage in concrete burnishing. Plain fiber burnishing pads give a basic mirror finish; diamond-impregnated burnishing pads with resin pucks cut slightly and hold that mirror finish far longer, making them the preferred choice for high-traffic commercial floors.

The burnishing workflow has three phases: metal-bond abrading to flatten, resin-bond pads to refine scratch marks, and burnishing to raise reflection.
Miss this step and the gloss will not come up evenly.
The practical details.
For final finish on new installations, diamond burnishing pucks are worth the investment.
Our Burnishing Pads with Resin Pucks combine the heat of a fiber base with fine diamond sawing, while Dry burnishing Wool Pads suit light buffing between maintenance cycles.

Key points for the polishing sequence.

This stage decides how much reflection the floor finally shows.
What matters most in this stage.
Keeping the floor swept and fine dust-mopped prevents grit stage from being ground in by the burnisher, which would otherwise scratch mark the finish.
Miss this step and the gloss will not come up evenly.
The practical details.
When you notice the floor taking longer to mirror finish or showing streaks, the pad is at end of life - replace it rather than running more passes, which only risks overheating one spot.
Finally, do not mix burnishing pads that have been used on dirty, entry-level floors with pads reserved for final finish - picked-up grit stage transfers and scratch marks the next floor.
Crews that rush this part rarely get a mirror finish.
A: For most jobs, No. They finish after those stages; they do not replace the resin grit stage sequence that removes scratch marks.
A: In short, Fiber pads wear out. Diamond burnishing pucks last much longer but require replacement when the diamonds are consumed.
A: The practical answer is, In most cases a dirty floor, a loaded pad, or too much product. Clean the floor, replace the pad, and keep passes dry.
