I tried the Doc’s Acetone method last week.
No you don’t dip it but simply spray on a light midst of
acetone and work it with the steel wool.
As to why, and I will use my logic here, normally the quartz would
have been unaffected but it’s actually the resin that was
dulled. So by using this method which is basically
The Steel wool – is the abrasive
The Acetone – is the polishing medium
Your essentially polishing the quartz counter just as if you
were using a red pad and polishing powder on marble.
Now what happens if you leave polishing powder on marble, it can
etch the stone
How do you remove it? You use the same powder to polish it
out
Last month my contractor left acetone on the quartz counter, and
what happened , it left what looked like an etch.
What do you use to remove it, the same acetone. Genius
DAMN IT DOC- I SHOULD HAVE REALIZED THAT ON MY OWN

Do I just dip the pad in the
acetone and rub. For curiosity sake why would this method work to bring back
the shine thats missing in those spots.

Zev,
Fred recommendation
will work well, if that does, not work I have used a crystallizer with Steel
wool to polish out these areas, try the acetone method first, if that does not
work then they polishing it out.
I use to do warranty
work for DuPont . sometime when you see these dull spots it called pooling and
is a residue from the materials not flowing properly.
Please not that
quartz will not etch, it will burn, it can stain, but will not etch. Keep in mind
the engineered stones are basically made up quartz crystals and a resin. Be
careful if you need to use diamonds, I highly recommend the diamond from Alpha
for engineered stone.
We will be
offering a class on repairing engineer stone in the future.
HOW MANY WOULD BE
INTERESRTED IN THIS CLASS PLEASE ADVISE, SO WE CAN SCHEDULE ACCORDINGLY

Hi all. I just came across a polished quartz
countertop that had 2 3 dull spots. I did a vinager test and it did nothing so
its not etch marks . What could it be and how would I take care of the problem?
