How to remove these marks?

last month

Recently installed polished porcelain tiles on my floor and there are these micro scratches/swirls all over the tiles. The marks can be seen mainly under bright lighting. The micro scratches/swirls mostly disappear when the floor is wet and reappear when the water drys up. I also cannot feel most of them with my fingernail. Any suggestions on how to remove these? Thank you.

Those are polishing marks. Burnishing with a 1500 or 3000 grit diamond pad will take it off. Need high speed burnisher.

Hello. thank you for the comment. Will the polish/glaze on the tile still remain if i use diamond pad with high speed burnisher? i think these marks came from my contravtors from grouting but not exactly sure. Sorry as i am a novice with this type of stuff. thank you for the help.

Burnishing at a high grit will not remove finish. Make sure you vacuum first. Don't want no debris to get caught under the pad and put a deeper scratch in it. Start with 3000 grit, if, that doesn't take out the scratches. then go to a lower grit 1800 or 1500 grit.

You can double check with the tile manufacturer to see what they recommend. They may recommend a coat of polish.
