Ray,
A
couple of things for the future,
1.
To
tell the difference between real stone and cultured marble , touch the
surface, if its cool to the touch its real stone. if you touch it and it
warm or is not cool to the touch is probably not real.
2.
If
the counter top and the sink I s all one in most cases it not real.
To
get a shine back on the cultured marble you can do the
following.
1.
If
there are some scratches use a 3000 grit rubbing compound that they use on
cars this can be purchased from automotive stores or automotive paint
suppliers.
2.
Use
the rubbing compound in the same manner as if you were rubbing out a spot on
your car.
3.
The
next step is to get a good car paste wax and apply and buff
off.
Your
now done!!!
CAUTION
DO NOT GET OVER AGGRESSIVE WHEN USING THE RUBBING COMPOPUND, WHAT YOU ARE
ACTUALLY DOING IS RUBBING THE SCRATCHES OUT A GEL COAT FINISH AND IF IT
A CHEAP TOP THE GEL COAT WILL BE THIN.
Hope
this helps

Subject: [sccpartners] cultured green
marble
Thank you everyone
for providing feedback and advice on how to handle green marble.
After applying the
advice I received, we have determined that even though the homeowner insisted
it was real marble, the counters do not react like genuine marble and we have
determined it is cultured marble (looks just like serpentine). Can
anyone offer advice on how to get a shine on serpentine looking cultured
marble.
Thank you again for
your help and feedback.
