Directions for Use
For the Crete Rx process, first sweep and dust-mop the floor to remove loose debris. Fill the automatic scrubber with DensiClean at 0.5 oz. per gallon (1:256), then add LiquiGrind at 2 oz. per gallon (1:64).
Attach the appropriate Crete Rx Step 1 Grind Tool or Step 2 Hone Tool and make approximately five passes at the slowest machine setting, using moderate solution and approximately 120 lb. of down pressure. Recover the solution after each pass.
For spot stain and etch remediation, Betco recommends applying LiquiGrind to completely cover the affected area and allowing it to dwell for approximately 10 minutes before beginning the honing process.
Part of the Crete Rx System
LiquiGrind is one component of Betco's broader Crete Rx ProGrind System:
LiquiGrind + DensiClean → Grind/Hone → Densifier → Polish → Stain Defense
This process is designed to restore and maintain polished concrete while improving surface hardness, appearance, stain resistance, and wear resistance.
