   In general for marble polishing you’ll need:

   – You need to be familiar with some basic technical tasks.
   – Handheld buffing machine also know as polisher, buffer, low speed grinder or variable speed polisher.
   – Marble buffing compound. One of easiest to work with is Dia-Glo, Diamond buffing compound.
   – Non-abrasive white polishing/buffing pad or hog hair buffing pad.
   – Spray bottle with water.
   – Put 1 teaspoon of compound on surface and spray couple pumps of water on it.
   – Use the buffer to run through circular motions, until you notice a difference.
   – Continue buffing until all the haze is gone, or until you get the desired effect.

   Please note: for deeper damages such as scratches or etches first you’ll need to use various diamond polishing pads.
