Cheetah Pads Stone Restoration Success Stories

Cheetah Pads have helped restoration contractors, maintenance professionals, and facility managers complete stone restoration projects faster and more efficiently on marble, travertine, limestone, terrazzo, polished concrete, and other natural stone surfaces. Below are examples of real-world projects completed using the Cheetah Pad restoration system.
Historic Fox Theater Restoration Project

This restoration project was completed at the Historic Fox Theater in Detroit, Michigan. The floor contained multiple stone types, years of wax buildup, and significant lippage. The restoration team first used metal bond diamonds to flatten the surface before completing the restoration process using the Cheetah System.
The project utilized a combination of planetary machines and traditional 175 RPM floor machines. Cheetah Pads were used to restore clarity, improve appearance, and prepare the floor for long-term maintenance.

5-Inch Cheetah Pucks
Cheetah Pucks are designed for aggressive restoration work and can be used with weighted drive plates and other restoration equipment when additional cutting performance is required.

5-Inch Cheetah Pads
Cheetah Pads can be used on floor machines, planetary machines, countertops, stairs, vertical surfaces, and edge work. Their versatility makes them a valuable tool for a wide range of restoration applications.
Terrazzo Restoration Example
This newly installed resin-based terrazzo floor had already been finished to an 800-grit diamond surface. The facility wanted to avoid coatings and wax finishes while maintaining a highly attractive appearance.
Using weighted drive plates, Step 3 and Step 4 Cheetah Pucks, Monkey Pads 11,000, and Nano Guard, the maintenance staff was able to create an attractive finish while establishing a simpler long-term maintenance program.
