Polishing looks simple but the results depend on the order and the tooling. High mirror finish on concrete requires three things in order: a densifying sealing layer applied after the metal-bonded matrix stages, a complete resin sequence up to 1500–3000#, and a final burnish with burnishing pads or a dry burnish. If the floor stays dull, you likely skipped a grit stage, missed the densifying sealing layer, or the pad pressure/speed was too low.

This stage decides how much reflection the floor finally shows.
What matters most in this stage.
Miss this step and the gloss will not come up evenly.
The practical details.
Crews that rush this part rarely get a mirror finish.
A: For most jobs, For a long-wearing high-gloss floor, yes. Densifying sealing layer hardens the cementitious material paste so the resin pads can compress and burnish it into reflectivity.
A: In short, 1500–3000# resin pads, followed by a dry burnishing pass. Beyond 3000# gains are marginal for most floors.
A: The practical answer is, Resin pads burnish; a dedicated burnishing or wool pad at higher rotations per minute gives the final mirror. Use both in sequence.
