Crap!!! Forgot to send in some pics!! So much for that.
The guy in the shop told me today I'll never be able to get those scratches out of that counter. He says that the scratches will be stained and the marks will still be there. I told him I'll get them out.
 I'll start with the 50 and start feathering the other grits. I guess I should start where the scratches are and then work my way down the counter but I should not have to go all the way down tho just so long as not to make any dips where I start grinding. Buddy's kinda got me thinking now if I should tackle this

 Did you make that short vid yet Joh?

Have a good one. Mark

This is the type of stuff I like to hear.
sorry you did not have the camera, but now you know how simple it is to make a repair look like a natural part of stone.

Thanks Jos. I'll stop by in the next week and mention about them removing the taps or I have to charge extra, I think it's usually 31/2" or 4" from the sink to the back splash. I usually try to make it 4"

On another note. Installed a white Persian Granite today. Disaster from the "get go" Chipped both pieces of granite on the install. I ended up faking it in by using the technique that you suggested JOS and they could not even tell the dif.  My buddy (the owner) could not believe it.  Where was the cam then. LOL

Have them remove the tap and faucets.
Do you polish the sink as well?
I find that polishing the sink makes your job look a whole lot better.

I should have taken pics of the sink as well. It's a top mount. I should probably duct tape off the sink edges just to be safe in case I hit with the diamonds.
 It's a tight area between the taps and faucet to the blacksplash and sink.

You must remove all the knife marks before you start to hone are polish.
I would start off at the 50 just to speed it up.

I was hoping to stay away from the powders if possible. I figure I'd start with 100 and go up to 3000. Should I try to get all the scratch (knife cuts) out with the 100 before proceeding with the next grit?]]> Tue, 24 Jun 2008 14:59:45 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5103&PID=144797&title=cleaning-marble-and-granite#144797 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5103&PID=144793&title=cleaning-marble-and-granite#144793 Author: joh

no need for the tin oxide, if needed just go up in the diamonds to get a better polish. This is a very easy job. the only way you can mess this up, is if you are careless and leave waves in the stone.]]> Tue, 24 Jun 2008 14:48:41 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5103&PID=144793&title=cleaning-marble-and-granite#144793 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5103&PID=144790&title=cleaning-marble-and-granite#144790 Author: Mark McMaster

Right on I have pure tin oxide. Would this be okay to use on that counter??
Thanks for taking the time for all these PITA questions but I just don't want to end up buying this counter.

If I can fine some green marble i will shoot this one for you. I think the other guys may enjoy it as well.
