I agree with John, get all you need as you would a car finish
Including the grits. Works exactly as you would a car
finish. Last one I did with light scratches I used
800 wet sanding pads
1800
2400
Rubbing compound- with a lamb type bonnet
Finishing cream with a foam bonnet
All purchased from the car detailing shop
This is also the same procedure to finish lacquered tables for
anyone who may encounter them.
Very easy procedure, keep the same rules as you would for marble
but it’s much much easier, as you can’t burn the finish.
Ps- the only thing I have to mention is to be sure you are on
Corian, if not make a quick check to see the name brand, if its reputable great
if not, do a test especially if you will go lower than an 800. I have
encountered a lower quality grade material that was not shaken during its curing
process at fabrication. This means that air holes were left trapped under
the surface and when I began to sand it down, pin holes began to appear, and
that’s a whole other problem. Good indication is if you can see the
underneath of the counter, if pinholes are visible, you might have a lower
grade material.
As always, you’re a professional and you always start with
an paid approval test. Only those who know everything don’t test anymore
and of course are not part of SCC!

Scott,
I have restored corian before using diamond before, don’t
go too low with your grits usually 400, 800 will repair the damage, if it has a
high gloss finish go higher, 3m rubbing compound ( 1500 1800 grit liquid
works well) with a buffing wheel. This can be purchased at your local Car
paint and body shop store.
If you need more assistance let me know

I just bid a mid sized travertine restoration where the customer has
a mud room counter and cast in basin she uses to wash the dog,it is made from
the newer upgrade material from corian,made by Dupont cant remember the
name,Can I remove scratches and refinish with resin diamond pads??? the
material was very expensive however its still plastic.Anyone ever try this???
seems like 400-800-1800 should do it
Thanks in advance for any advice "Big
