Second attempt was with Windex and same paper towel, which cleaned the two honed surfaces up pretty well. The lighter Raw Concrete seems to have been easier than the Sleek Concrete. And finally, to get rid of that pot scratch I used a non-scratching Scotch brite pad (what we usually use on dishes) with some diluted Soft Scrub. This one took a little more elbow grease but I'm satisfied with the results. My opinion is that comparing the two surfaces (honed vs. glossy) there is a marked difference. That being said, I currently have tile from 1978 and grout lines that are so deep and narrow I have to scrub them out with a toothbrush. I guess it's all a matter of perspective. We decided to go with the Raw Concrete after all, and like others have said, just expect that it'll take a little more work and show a few more stains. But then again, isn't that the whole point of concrete? That it looks industrial? I hope this has helped someone. If anyone is interested I'll try to post some more photos and real life feedback in a couple of weeks once ours is installed.

Dulux "natural white" is a warm white and works really well. You really need to consider the existing style of the house,what style the space is and what colour you are having on the adjoining walls. If you want a really crisp white then you can do a "vivid white" See the Dulux Whites colour card and you can easily see the variations

White is the hardest colour to choose. The same white will vary from room to room, natural light intensity changes it's look, etc.. Rather than a white how about looking at grey toned whites such as 'White Duck', pretty sure thats the colour name a client used in their modern north facing addition. An interior designer friend suggested it instead of their original intention of Natural White which would of been to sharp.

Hi, I've painted my whole interior Casper White Quarter last year and I love it after the guy in our Paint Spot suggested we consider it as it was his favourite white. Definitely no creamy tones, and I can't say there's any green. I guess it's like a white with the tiniest hint of muddy taupe-grey?! It's a really interesting colour, and casts quite differently in different light/rooms, sometimes looks like a super pale cool grey, other times a slightly warm grey, but has a real substance to it, if that makes any sense! It's still quite subtle but our ceilings are pure white so the contrast is really nice. My only slight issue is that our floors have come up quite a warm light toffee colour and so a Natural White (which was our other contender, our 'safe/can't go wrong' option) probably would have complemented them better, as the Caspar White does come off quite cool against it (we'd just moved in and ripped up carpet to discover the floorboards and had them sanded and polished after we did the painting so they came up warmer than when they were raw). BUT I love Caspar White, it's really beautiful so I still probably would have gone with it. I'd love to see once you've used it.
