If you ever saw a granite slab that what looked like spider webs
under the gloss, that what pectro is for, you don’t need to use both ager
and pectro. Ager as well, is a tough product to use on polished granite
and on granite themselves especially close to the joints or seems of the
counter. When you try to enhance a finish chemically you really need to
be careful, just look at the sample I did last week of a flames granite floor,
look closely on the seams. That being said, Tenax has time and time again
completed many jobs for me perfectly.
On a counter I tell the customer I need to test, I need to do it
where the microwave will be or similar and it’s at their own risk and all
subject to their own cost.
Topical Coatings- never!
The best shine is obtained by granite tin oxide- done right , a
counter takes a full day to do or 6-8 hours, from start to clean up.
I maybe unclear about what it is you really wanted, why would
you suggest topical. Is it a budget issue? Is it a time issue?

Baird,
You can try some mb-20.If you have a gloss meter its possible
you will be able to show your customer the difference of before and after. It
may surprise you and your customer by increasing the luster a good percentage.
You can use it like a powder and go slightly wet to dry
using a very small amount.
Used correctly there wont be much splatter.
We tested it and it is a true mechanical polish.
Call me if you like I will send you some.

Powder polishing
will not touch granite, unless it is tin oxide. Topical coatings should not
touch polished granite either. If there is a finish issue it can be improved a
little using Pectro, by Tenax. The best enhancer would be Ager, by Tenax.

Hi,
Was wondering if anyone has favorite products for topical
sealing of granite counters (or at least a more effortless way to bring back
some shine). I have a new customer who has a granite counter top that
appears to have no real etching and the shine is still pretty good. She
would like to enhance it. I gave her two quotes, one for powder polishing
(which she rejected) and another for cleaning and a topical treatment).
That being said, she is not looking for a level of gloss and clarity that
would come with real honing and polishing. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Baird
