This has been a very interesting project. The statues look beautiful after your cleaning work and I'm glad they will now be indoors and not subject to more weather damage. Obviously, the remarkable paving stones are making themselves known. That is a nice garden area. A pretty incredible difference shown in the Before and After photos.

Amazing job as usual Nick. My heart would have been pounding throughout that job worrying that part of them would fall off. Such great care and attention to detail - fantastic. Thanks, as ever, for the upload, have a great week :)

Gotta give you serious credit mate, carerra marble does carry big black veins and the yellow is poorus oxidation. I have been working in the kitchen industry for wwll over 20 years and can say that what you see is what you get when it comes to marble and because these are not polised, you have created a beautiful job. Trust me when i say the black marks are not organic and thats the beauty of carerra marble. Awesome job 👍

Sand blasting with egg shells is one practice used with fragile stone restoration, such as sandstone ornaments and building facades, but finding enough egg shells is a problem. Not sure if egg shells would do better job, but worth trying out for future reference..

@@PrestigeExternalCleaning It’s always a good day to learn something new.

The orange colouring could be naturally occurring deposits of Ferric Oxide, often Marble is valued for its swirling patterns, striations (layers developed as the rock was laid down over the millennia.) There is much debate over how many marble figures were when originally commissioned actually were left pure white, scanning surfaces has revealed in antiquity much of it was painted.

Beautiful statues, but the flashing eye on the water feature was odd. Great job being careful cleaning them.

I have to wonder whether the sculptor ever saw a cat paw before? Strangest cat feet ever. Look like fingers. But now clean fingers!

wow, can't believe they didn't get you to do the property. don't understand that .

Why not use D2? Let it soak, give it a scrub, then one more application and leave that on. It performs miracles with NO harm to marble from too aggressive cleaning.

@PrestigeExternalCleaning

5 ай бұрын

Because D2 is a very weak QAC (quaternary ammonium compound) based cleaner, and would take weeks, even months for the marble to resemble anywhere near the appearance I achieved in a few hours using this method. The customer was paying me for an instant result, as he wanted the panthers in his house as soon as possible. Soda blasting is not considered to be aggressive. It was the method used to clean the statue of liberty back in the 1980’s

Wow Nick what a wonderful job to get 😮 To be honest before the clean I wouldn't have paid 20 each for them but oh wow by the time you had worked your always meticulous magic I can understand why your customer purchased them 🥰 relieved to hear they will be kept indoors from now on 😊 the thought that all that work would be for nothing is unbearable. I agree with other comments that nice clean spot should maybe make him/her think 🤔 maybe I should get Nick to do this as well 😂 Hope you and your family are well 😊😊 love and hugs to you all from oop north x

Even if that’s true, the customer doesn’t care about that, he’s a millionaire, he didn’t buy them as an investment, he wanted them looking clean to have the natural marble look restored,and display them in his home. So if in fact he has devalued them by hiring me, it’s irrelevant to him.

It’s up to the customer whether he wants them cleaned or not. Who are you to say what he should or shouldn't do with his own property. If he's happy with them looking like they did when they were first sculptured, instead of being covered in mould and lichen, then that's up to him.
