I installed green marble and had a bit of lippage from several of the tiles curling.  I do have 4" diamond pads with a flexible backer and a Flex 603 (?).  What additional tools would I need to get this flat and shiny again?  I've heard most polishing compounds don't work on green marble, so I was hesitant to use Diaglo.  Will Diaglo work or do you recommend something else?

Thanks

Jeff

I should add that it is a bathroom countertop.

Jeff,
try the Twisttouch turbo set for top polishing by Alpha. It should give you the shine you want.
Only use the Diaglo if necessary, but make sure when you are done you seal it with Hydrex as the stones will warp again if they get wet.

Don't use green around water!
