PRODUCT D E SCRIPTION
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Water Ring & Etch Remover polishing
powder is a unique blend designed to enhance the natural shine of natural
stone and terrazzo. Water Ring & Etch Remover will remove light scratches,
water rings and acid etch marks. Water Ring & Etch Remover is an effective
means of maintaining the factory finish of marble, travertine, limestone, ter-
razzo and other natural stone surfaces. Unlike recrystallization or vitrifica-
tion, Water Ring & Etch Remover does not change the surface composition
of the stone. Water Ring & Etch Remover is an easy to use polishing
process that has been used in stone factories and in the field for decades.
Water Ring & Etch Remover is great for ongoing maintenance, as well as
the final polishing step in any stone restoration procedure. Heavy scratches
and etch marks may need to be honed with the Mira Hone or Pyramid
Diamond Abrasive System prior to using Water Ring & Etch Remover.
Sample Testing
Due to the differences of each material, several inconspicuous test patches
should be completed to assure maximum performance. User must deter-
mine suitability of the product for their intended use.
Special Precaution & Protection
Always protect neighboring surfaces including masonry, wood, carpet,
metal, landscaping and other non masonry surfaces.
Water Ring & Etch Remover should not be left on the surface for any length
of time without constant buffing action. If buffing is stopped Water Ring &
Etch Remover must be immediately picked up to avoid burning. Place the
floor or hand machine on a plastic or teflon sheet when not in use. Water
Ring & Etch Remover is not recommended for granite or synthetic surfaces.
Water Ring & Etch Remover can be run through a sifter for a more consis-
tent powder.
APPLIC ATION I N STRUCTIONS
Read entire label and PDS/MSDS before using.
All previous applied sealers, coatings and/or waxes must be removed using
Mira Strip or Finish Sealer Stripper as directed.
Using a Marble Master 1000 (175 rpm, 150 lbs.) floor machine equipped
with a white polishing pad or a tampico brush will provide optimum results.
Wet a small area (2 - 4 sf) with clean water. Sprinkle Water Ring & Etch
Remover on the area and buff making slow, even passes. Add water or
Water Ring & Etch Remover as needed to maintain a watery/milky slurry.
DO NOT ALLOW Water Ring & Etch Remover SLURRY TO DRY ON THE SUR-
FACE. Buff the stone for 1 - 2 minutes or until desired polish is achieved.
Additional Water Ring & Etch Remover may be used to increase polish. Be
careful not to buff too long in any given area as this may create a burn. After
polishing, rinse the stone thoroughly with the appropriate Miracle Cleaner
as directed. Agitate with a soft brush and remove using a wet vacuum. This
procedure is essential for neutralization of the polished surface.
Counters: Use a hand machine (600 - 800 rpm) equipped with a white pad
or tampico brush and use in the same manner as with floors.
Wall: Wet the small area to be worked and sprinkle the Water Ring & Etch
Remover directly onto the polishing pad or brush. Buff the walls in small
sections. Be careful to protect neighboring areas from dripping of the Water
Ring & Etch Remover solution.
Small Areas: Water Ring & Etch Remover can be worked by hand for very
small areas or trouble spots. Follow the same procedure as above, buffing
with a small white pad and using rubber gloves. This method can effectively
remove many light scratches, water rings and etch marks while restoring
desired luster to those very small and hard to reach areas.
Heavy Duty Cleaning: Use Phosphoric Acid Cleaner , HDAC or Liquid
Poultice as directed.
Light Cleaning: Use Tile & Stone Cleaner or Counter Kleen as directed.
Water, Stain & Slip Protection
Application of Miracle Penetrating Sealer/Impregnator will reduce pene-
tration of all staining materials and make the surface less slippery.
Color and Gloss Enhancement
For added color with “Textured and Non polished” surfaces, 511 Seal &
Enhance may be used. For porous type “Pavers”, 511 Seal & Enhance may
be used as directed.
Coverage
Coverage will vary depending on the density, porosity, texture, surface
absorption, weather, time solution left on surface and application methods.
Used as directed, Water Ring & Etch Remover will do approximately 13 - 28
sq. meters per pound or 3 - sq. meters per 4 oz. bottle.
