Ok I've been doing more research. I was imagining the starburst to be 8" which is why I didn't think you still sold it, but I believe there are 3 per pad driver so guessing you would need 9 of the 3"? About $150 per grit level.
Then I came across the diamond PADS that are 8", so about $54 per set. Saw a couple posts on the forums about those. This floor was covered with carpet for many years. I removed all the mastic and it's in pretty good shape, so I'm thinking the diamond pads would do the trick.
I had considered using 20" diamond pads on my 175 (I've used high grit diamond pads before to clean and burnish already polished concrete with good results, but never gotten into low grit stuff) But I'd rather make investments into my Cimex (i.e. weight kit, for doing tile and grout, rather than weight kit for my 175)
As I said this floor overall is in good condition, just want to bring up the shine. I'm thinking do 4 steps 800-6000 with the 8inch diamond pads, then burnish as well with a diamond pad. The big question is how long does each step take doing 8-10 passes?
