Polishing looks simple but the results depend on the order and the tooling. As a rule of thumb, a set of diamond resin burnish pads lasts roughly 1,000 to 3,000 square feet (about 100-300 square meters) per grit step on average concrete. Coarse and transitional pads wear faster than fine grit stages; soft pads on hard concrete wear quickest, while hard pads on soft concrete glaze instead of wearing.

If the bond is too hard for the concrete, diamonds cannot wear out - they glaze over and stop sawing long before they look used.
This stage decides how much reflection the floor finally shows.
What matters most in this stage.
On very hard, siliceous concrete, expect 30-50% less life; on soft, creamy concrete, pads may last longer but glaze more frequently.
Miss this step and the gloss will not come up evenly.
The practical details.
Using matched, good-quality pads such as our Resin Floor burnish pads with consistent bond grades gives the most predictable life.
For metal-to-resin bridging, 8-Triangle Resin Pads expose diamonds efficiently and wear evenly across the head.
Crews that rush this part rarely get a mirror finish.
Key points for the polishing sequence.
Keep one spare set of each grit stage on the truck mid-project so a worn pad does not stall production.
This stage decides how much reflection the floor finally shows.
What matters most in this stage.
Keep a simple log: record the concrete hardness, the pad bond used, the grit step and the area completed per set.
After three or four floors you will have a reliable cost-per-square-meter figure for your specific conditions, which lets you quote projects confidently instead of guessing.
Miss this step and the gloss will not come up evenly.
A: The practical answer is, Resin pads cannot be dressed like metal bonds. Once the diamonds are consumed, replace them.
A: For most jobs, Water cools and can extend life on hard concrete, but only on pads designed for wet use.
A: In short, It stops sawing, leaves uneven haze, or the diamond layer is visibly gone down to the backing.
