Q: How long does a Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pad last?
A: On Average the Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pad can last up to 5000 sqft. Step one will obviously wear faster due to its aggressive nature. Step 4 will last much longer. Flat leveled even smooth surfaces tend to give a much longer lifespan to the Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pads up to 20,000 sqft. Rough textured, uneven surfaces with lippage will wear the pads faster.
Q: What types of surfaces can you use the Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pads on?
A: Marble, travertine, limestone, terrazzo and polished concrete. Many types of polishing equipment can only be used on certain types of marble, Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pads however, work effectively on extremely soft and extremely hard types of marble, even on the most difficult of marbles such as the green serpentine and still achieve extremely high gloss meter readings.
Q: How much do the Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pads cost?
A: The 17 inch Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pads are $137.50 each. If you compare the Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pad with these other types of products that you’d need to do the same job, the Cheetah is by far the most cost-effective process available today. For example the Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pad step 1 replaces the need to use 50,100, 200 & 400 grit resin bond diamond. So, in essence, step 1 the pad is $137.50 compared to the 24 resin diamonds required at $480.00. That’s a savings of over 70%!!!
Q: How fast do Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pads work?
A: Taking into consideration the fact that FOUR Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pads replace eight of the traditional steps of resin bond diamond pads and also the place of marble polishing compounds & crystallizers. The Diamondhead USA Cheetah pad is by far faster, you can save as much as 70% on labor when compared to any other traditional marble grinding and polishing systems.
Q: How much weight should the floor machine carry in order for the Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pad to work at maximum efficiency?
A: Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pads were designed to be used with even the lightest weight floor machine possible. A heavy duty stone grinding and polishing machine is not required. You can use a machine that weighs as little as 70lbs to 180lbs. Keep in mind the more weight you use the faster the pad will wear, the ideal weight is approximately 110lbs, that maximizes lifespan and the effectiveness of the pad.
Q: How much training is involved in being able to use the Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pad effectively to offer professional results on marble, travertine, limestone, terrazzo and concrete?
A: The traditional methods for stone restoration require years of on-the-job training, thousands of hours practicing and learning because of the complexity of marbles and the thousands of different types of stone make these methods very difficult. The Diamondhead USA Cheetah four step method is extremely effective and easy to use on all surfaces mentioned before. In as little as 30 min of practice you will be able to offer professional results that are beyond factory polish without worry of risking damage to the surface. The Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pad is designed to create perfect uniform results on every type of marble, travertine, limestone, terrazzo and polished concrete and do not require extensive training or any high level of skill to produce a fantastic finish.
Q: Is it possible to use them in showers, on countertops, corners and edges or small areas?
A: YES, Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pads are available from a small 5 inch to a 20 inch pad size and can be used on a wide variety of different machines in order to achieve professional results on floors, walls and countertops.
Q: What type of machine do I need to be able to use the Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pads?
A: The pads were designed to be able to use on all major types of machines for grinding, polishing and resurfacing floors. Walls and countertops are for the hand held buffer or polisher. The medium size pads can be used on all different types of rotary floor scrubbers or orbital floor polishers and planetary head machines.
Q: How do I use the Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pad?
A: The simplest description is, in heavily damaged areas the process would be;
1. Put pad on machine, whichever one you are using.
2. Clean surface of any debris laying on surface.
3. Wet the surface where you will be working on and around it.
4. Move the machine in a left to right pattern at a slow steady speed back and forth.
5. Repeat the 4th process 4 to 8 times till damage is removed for light damage if it’s heavier then check work and if needed do a few more passes.
6. Rinse and vacuum area thoroughly leaving nothing from previous step before moving on to the next also making sure damage is gone.
7. Repeat process 3,4 &5 above for Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pad# 2,3 & 4.
The process is identical to step one, except for the fact that all of those extra passes are not necessary. Most situations you only need to do four overlapping passes for each area first. However there are exceptions to these rules, for example some softer stones such as limestone may not require so many passes, harder stones such as the green serpentine marble may require a few more passes and possibly additional weight to help speed the process.
An important point to remember.
Removal of any abrasive debris or soil prior to starting with any grinding or polishing is an absolutely critical process to the success of the job. Be sure to clean vacuum and sweep extremely well before doing anything. Not performing these tasks will just prolong the job and create a tremendous amount of extra work and have adverse results.
Q: Do I have to use all four steps of the Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pads on every job?
A: Absolutely not. You only need to use the steps to achieve the finish you desire. For instance, a marble floor that is in very bad condition with extremely heavily worn traffic areas and possible chemical damage to the surface will require a full restoration. This means you would use steps 1-4 to remove the damage and prep the surface before final polishing with the 11,000 grit Diamondhead USA Smart Pad. If you like using polishing compounds instead of pads, even on extremely worn circumstances you would only need to use step 1 and 2 before polishing with your compounds.
For situations where the customer only desires a slightly glossy surface such as semi-gloss and you have extremely worn or damaged surface use steps 1-2 Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pads then follow the process with 800 or 1500grit Diamondhead USA Smart Pads to smooth surface out and give it the semi-gloss look your customer was looking for. If there is an extremely worn surface but customer doesn’t want any shine at all then you would only use Diamondhead USA Cheetah Pad Step1 to remove the damage and give the surface a dull finish then follow that with a 200 grit Diamondhead USA Smart Pad to smooth out the surface for a uniform dull honed look.
