Bassosa Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 We have black counter tops, cheap stuff commonly seen in Thailand, probably best described as "faux granite". The kitchen counter tops are severely stained and I want to clean it up. What's the best way? I was thinking of a bit of buffing and sealing it afterwards. Is that the right way?

bankruatsteve Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 If the counter top is a veneer of something, there's not much you can do. Replace with real granite would be the best option. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright side its also going to impervious so any stains can be lifted, wiped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes real granite is quite cheap in Thailand compared to the rip off prices in the UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to manually polish with a delicate cutting compound for cars but it didn't work. Most of the damage is heat damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
