Quartz Renew Restoration Instructions
Professional Quartz Surface Repair & Refinishing Guide
Recommended System
For best results, we strongly recommend using the Quartz Renew Starter Kit W/ 7″ Applicator Pads,
available from Detroit Diamond Tools, along with a variable-speed angle grinder or polisher such as the
FLEX polishing system. The correct tool, speed, and pad size are critical for consistent, professional results.
Tools & Materials Required
- Quartz Renew Starter Kit
- Step 1: Snake Skin Revealer
- Step 2: Resin Polish
- Step 3: Final Polish
- 7″ Applicator Pads (included in recommended kit)
- Variable-speed grinder or polisher (FLEX Polisher recommended)
- Clean microfiber towels
- Spray bottle with clean water
- Protective gloves and eye protection
Why a FLEX Polisher Matters
- Controlled RPMs to prevent overheating
- Consistent pressure across the surface
- Better torque at low speeds
This dramatically reduces the risk of swirl marks, burn marks, or uneven gloss.
Identifying the Problem Before You Start
Understanding the type of defect is critical before beginning restoration.
1. Acetone Burn Marks (Chemical Etching)
Appearance:
- Dull, cloudy, or hazy areas
- No physical depth
- Often circular or wiped-looking
Cause:
- Acetone, nail polish remover, or harsh solvents reacting with quartz resin
Repair Method:
- Easily repairable with Quartz Renew
- Typically resolved using Step 1 and Step 2, followed by Step 3
2. Surface Scratches (Light to Moderate)
Appearance:
- Fine lines visible at certain angles
- Can usually be felt lightly with a fingernail
Cause:
- Abrasive cleaners, dragging tools, or improper cleaning pads
Repair Method:
- Repairable with Step 2 (Resin Polish)
- Finish with Step 3 to restore full gloss
3. Gouges or Deep Damage
Appearance:
- Clearly visible depth
- Fingernail catches in the defect
Cause:
- Heavy impact, sharp tools, or dropped objects
Repair Method:
- May require professional assessment
- Quartz Renew can improve appearance, but deep gouges may not fully disappear
- Always test in an inconspicuous area first
Step-by-Step Restoration Process
Step 1 – Snake Skin Revealer (Surface Prep & Haze Removal)
Purpose: Removes surface haze, light chemical etching, and prepares quartz for polishing.
- Attach a 7″ applicator pad to the polisher
- Set polisher speed to low–medium RPM
- Apply a small amount of Snake Skin Revealer
- Work in 2 ft x 2 ft sections
- Keep pad flat; do not tilt
- Lightly mist with water if needed
- Wipe clean with a microfiber towel
Step 2 – Resin Polish (Scratch Refinement)
Purpose: Targets resin-based scratches and restores clarity.
- Switch to a clean applicator pad
- Apply Resin Polish evenly
- Polish at medium speed with even pressure
- Continue until scratches are minimized or removed
- Clean residue thoroughly before Step 3
Step 3 – Final Polish (Gloss Restoration)
Purpose: Restores a factory-like, mirror finish.
- Use a clean finishing pad
- Apply Final Polish sparingly
- Polish at low speed
- Buff with a clean microfiber towel
Important Tips for Best Results
- Never exceed recommended speeds — heat can damage resin
- Keep pads clean to avoid swirl marks
- Always test in a small, hidden area first
- Do not dry polish — light moisture improves results
- Let the machine do the work; excessive pressure is unnecessary
