+1 on Bauer. I’d get the low speed one. Mine lasted for 1,000 sq ft of tile and a hundred sq ft of mortar. My tile guy bought it off me after he smoked several on other jobs. Still going strong.

Get a small Oreck buffer and polishing pads. Easier than your car polisher. Spray some water and buff it once in a while to keep them looking sharp. I have the Oreck buffer with a bristle brush on it for the tile and use it often.

Look at boat dock “D” profile bumpers. Open your car door and see where it hits. Add the bumper at that height. They are available in a few colors. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Looks great! I am finishing up a porcelain tile job on the 2nd half of a 1,000sqft garage. We used Ditra as well and Dilex BWB over the control joints (to the nearest whole tile). For the joints, ideally you would leave the concrete control joint clear of any leveling compound or recut them...

What did you do "IN" your garage today? Eight days. Lift installed, flooring in, stem walls almost finished. Now just to wait a bit until the epoxy grout comes in. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

That area is 500sq ft. About 950sq ft total. Almost big enough. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal
