Gracias Don Cesar Castro !!!!!! me encanta el concreto bien limpio !!!!
Fantastic !!! Good information, I will use it .
I can not thank you enough for this class. I am going to do a project on a concrete floor and I had no idea what to do. Now I not only know how to do, but I also can teach my employees. Thank you ever so much.
Ben Hayyim you’re very welcome! Your comment is much appreciated.
Great video!
What a great video! I wish we had found it months ago. We have been grinding and polishing the floor of a large closet and bedroom and these pads are exactly what we needed. And your step by step is perfect! Our bedroom floor is almost complete after almost 6 months of trial, error and research. All of a sudden we searched the right term earlier this week and your video popped up and it was exactly what we needed. Thank you!
So happy to hear that! Thank you for the feedback
I did not know the twister pads had to be cleaned immediately after use. Thank You.
Nice and great explainations..clear language..easy to undesrtand..👍
Thank you for the comment Benny! We are looking to provide new content in the new year so stay tuned and thank you for your continued support
I'm in love with concrete.
Great video.
Good job 👍 👍
I need this
sr in which direction the discs rotate, time or antique. thank you
2:35 is match better vacuum the pad with hose of smaller vacuum very simple
There are products out there that are used in the Concrete pouring business that will ensure the Pad is clean. OR, ir you mix a solution with 30% vinegar, it will ensure you get all of the Portland (Cement) out of the pad. IT will not harm the pad.
Great video, how much deep can I go with the red Pad (my concrete floor of my patio has pores? and if I want a semi gloss finish or not glossy but yes very smooth what I should do?
Blue Matrix this polishing method is designed for indoor surface concrete. Therefore if your patio concrete is rough likened to a drive surface you will need a stronger grit to polish it up. However if it is smooth to the touch this method will work fine starting with the red and working your way up to bring up the polish and shine. For a semi gloss I would recommend our Ultra Sealer. You find more information on our sealer at ULTRACHEMLABS.com > products > floor care and pads > sealer. Thanks for watching and let us know if we can assist you further.
Hi Utra chem. I wanna ask something. Was the floor polished beforehand? then the video process for maintenance? or that process for the new floor?
Hi! This process is for concrete floors that require refurbishing/polishing. The floor used in this video has had heavy traffic and zero maintenance for 10+ years. If you have already done a deep polishing starting with the red all the way to the green and maintenance is your goal, you can achieve this by using just the process for the yellow and green pad there after. I hope this helps!
Hi. Recommend any videos on how to clean a concrete floor. Nothing crazy just a light clean
We don’t have any recommendations specifically. But we usually like to apply maintenance with a 3000 grit pad. For daily cleaning you can always go over the concrete with a red pad auto scrubber and 1 oz of our cleaner and conditioner to 1 gallon of water.
Gracias Cesar! When you mention 10 passes, do you mean by overlapping by two inches? Thanks for the video, I need to do this work in my new 60x40
You can overlap half the width of the pad as you move onto to the next section.
En donde están usted
I just had a new concrete floor poured two weeks ago. It was power troweled and is flat and smooth but it's a little dull in appearance. Can I follow your steps using the diamond embedded pads to polish the floor up or would it have to be polished by diamond grinding?
You can use both methods. Whichever better fits your circumstances and budget.
Awesome video ! AND IM PICKY AS F! Your explaination was on point . One thing though, how long do i have to wait for the densifier to dry before i use the next pad? Ty
20-30 minutes should suffice but always consult with the manufacturers recommendation.
Nice job. But where was your PPE?
Did you guys sale any kit ? with those pads and the chemical to polish they concrete?
Hi Isai, yes we sell the pads however we do not produce the densifier any longer. You can achieve a similar result without the densifier. But we do provide a concrete sealer for sealing and shine after the polishing is complete. Please email cs@ultrachemlabs.com for an order request. Thanks!
Do you have to seal the floor after this process? We are refinishing concrete inside our home.
belinda cleaves it is not totally necessary but if you desire to preserve the polished concrete and avoid the process of polishing again, our concrete sealer is recommended as a topical finish. 1-2 coats can be applied, and dries clear in a total of 30-45 minutes. This way, any ware will only effect the top coat and not the concrete itself. It is recommended to scrub and recoat the sealer once a year to maintain aesthetic appeal and optimal protection of the concrete. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Should I use a primer/seal before I acid stain smooth concrete?
Likely, any acid treatment on concrete would take place prior to primer/sealer application. Please refer to your products manufacturers recommended procedures.
Whats the blue sanding machine your using. I need to get one
It is the centaur rabbit weighted auto scrubber.
Can I use the red pad on fresh concrete to expose the aggregate, then let the concrete cure (28 days), apply densifier then complete the polishing with pad 2 and 3?
If you have the time to follow this process Yes that won’t be an issue, it is encouraged to apply a densifier after applying 400 grit polishing. Just be sure to clean the cured surface prior to applying densifier and to allow ample time for the densifier to dry and cure before applying the rest of the pads. I hope this helps!
How many square feet or meters do twister dimond pads last? On Average
Life span when cleaned regularly is 30,000 sq meters.
Can I apply densifer to new concrete?
As long as the concrete does not have a top coat and is cleaned first, yes you can.
"My name is César Castro"... "Okay scissor"
Hello, where can I buy some of these machines ? I’m very interested in following this process.
I would look for a local janitorial supply and distributor. They should have in inventory on commercial cleaning equipment similar to what we used in the video 👍🏻
Thanks
Would a normal 175 machine work? Thanks
Yes as long as it’s weighted. For this video we added 50lbs of weights to the swing machine.
I see you have VCT in your office area. Why would you do that?
VCT is used in the showroom primarily to test UCL floor finishes.
My question ? What do you do withva bad surface or paint/thinset??
There are a few options. Power washing, dry sanding or you can chemically strip the paint off.
I use 1gallon zip lock freezer bags
Hi... can you tell me the name and model of this machine... I am from Pakistan... and also guide me from where I buy this machine.
Centaur Rabbit Weighted Auto Scrubber
That's alot of work if it's a large area
Your telling me. I do this at a Costco.
I can’t find these pads on website
Please email us at cs@ultrachemlabs.com and we can place a special order for you.
Do you have store in Philippines?
No we do not.
What does the densifier do?
hardens the floor
what kind of vacuum is that?
Tennant wet and dry vacuum
first off the pads should be washed in a pad washer or use a wet dry vac to clean them. the other things to note is ne ve polish a floor that is used for ork lifts it can make them slip. also you are not told that every day the floor requires washing to main tain.
My boss has that same exact wet vacuum, yet yours put his to shame, it's horrible at sucking up water.
Maybe time for some maintenance ☺️
Second!
“3,000 grit” that looks like a 200 with shellacked LS guard burnished.
Rs
That is for an inside floor not an outside
The floor was already polished when you did this
I assure you, it was not previously polished prior to the job.
"polished concrete creates a lot of dust in its every day use from wear" oh really? And I guarantee that nobody is able to get a gloss reading in the 70s just by using 3 twister pads on a floor that has not been polished before. You'll be lucky to hit in the 40s to low 50s unless you're slopping on a bunch of guard product and burnishing it.
he said "unpolished concrete creates dust".
No reflection
No clarity
Diamond all the way
No exposure of pebbles is important. So no diamonds. :-)
That is absolutely not polishing concrete that’s densifyng and sealing but not polishing to polish yo need to grind the floor ten times
Twister Diamond Pad system is designed to grind concrete surfaces down then to polish them back up using the multi pad system.
Heavy grinding with bigger machines is better . Way smoother and higher gloss finish . 👎
This method is a cost effective option to using larger commercial machines.
