A correct grit sequence is essential for mirror-finish granite edges. This article outlines a practical progression for fabricators and installers.
Polishing granite transitions from coarse metal-bond pads through resin pads to final buff. Skipping grits leaves scratches that appear only after sealing.
Typical grit progression
- 50-100: Rough edge after profile wheel
- 200: Remove profile marks
- 400: Prepare for resin pads
- 800-1500: Refine surface
- 3000 + buff: Final gloss
Wet vs dry polishing
Wet polishing reduces dust and extends pad life in shop environments. Dry pads suit small field touch-ups with proper dust control.
