Should I add a polish to honed marble?

Q.Hello, We are in the process of tiling our bathroom floor with 1" hexagon Carrera honed marble tile. The marble has what appears to be a matte finish. To bring out more of the darker pieces and details, we were wondering whether or not it is advisable to add a polish to this type of marble. If so, can you recommend a polish that would be best for this type of tile and if you recommend that the polish is applied before or after we apply a sealer? Thank you!
Hello Danielle- If your stone is matte finish (which is a very nice look for carrera marble ) you dont want to apply any type of polish. So please take the polish out of equation. What you can do that would make more sense is to use our mb-6 color enhancing sealer on your honed carrera stone.It will darken the stone and highlight the colors. If you wet the stone that the effect the color enhancer will give it.
