If metal grinding marks are still visible, a finer resin pad can add sheen without removing the deeper scratches. The choice between 100- and 200-grit ceramic transition pads starts with the marks on the floor, not just the grit number on the last tool.
When to Try 100 Grit
Try 100 grit on a small test patch when the metal pass has left an even but still visible scratch pattern. Clean the patch and inspect it under low-angle light. If a few deep lines remain while the surrounding area looks finer, go back to the appropriate metal bond grinding step to correct them. Don’t count on a finer pad to erase isolated deep cuts.
When to Try 200 Grit
Try 200 grit when the previous scratch pattern is already fine and even, or after 100 grit has removed the earlier marks and left a consistent pattern of its own. If 200 grit only brightens the surface while the earlier scratches stay visible, go back a step. If your intended first resin polishing pad already removes the previous pattern evenly on a test patch, you may not need a separate ceramic step.
What Was Ordered
One Monkey King Diamond Tools order included nine 100-grit pads and nine 200-grit pads, both in the 4-inch (100 mm) size. The packing photo shows the two grits in separate boxes. Nine was the quantity ordered per grit, not a recommended pad count for every machine.
Check Your Holder Before Ordering
A 4-inch diameter alone doesn’t confirm fit. Check the backing plate size and attachment style, and confirm how many pads your machine requires. This pad is listed for wet or dry use; use a machine setup approved for your chosen method and appropriate dust control for dry work.
Once you’ve checked the holder, shop the Monkey King 4-inch ceramic transition pad and select the grit that matches your test patch.
