Engineered for professional stone restoration and refinement, MB-14 is especially effective for removing unwanted factory grinding swirls, surface imperfections, and inconsistencies from honed and filled stone materials.

It is also highly effective for minimizing factory swirls on honed Black Absolute granite slabs before applying MB-21 Enhancing Sealer.
