These diamond pads are not granite pads being sold as concrete pads, they have been manufactured specifically for polishing concrete. Unlike granite, concrete is much softer and more abrasive. The characteristics of concrete differ from granite in many ways and we tested countless variations in bonding materials and diamond grits to achieve this line of concrete pads. These diamond pads have been designed in special grit increments and are bonded to stand up to the high level of abrasion associated with polishing green concrete. This will allow the diamond pads to outlast standard granite pads which are made to polish hard non abrasive material such as granite. Concrete countertop professional will polish up to 1500 grit or 3000 grit. Buff pads are almost exclusively made for polishing stone and are commonly included with granite pad sets. If you see a concrete polishing pad set that includes a "buff" pad, the pads are likely granite or stone pads.
