The next spin - we did a test on a counter which has very few large scratches but many light ones.  We used a rubbing compound (the lower gloss one)  and the surface came out moderately glossy but nice looking.  The client, however, is looking for a flat, non gloss look.  wondering if just sanding will do the trick or perhaps using a low grit honing powder?  Or even a low grit twister pad (concerned about swirl marks).<br>

question.  If there are nail holes to plug, would I fill the with colored
epoxy?<br>

Try 180 or 220 grit, try not to go to aggressive since it&#39;s actually alot
softer than you think. Don&#39;t think marble polish would work because the acid is
the main ingredient and it wont affect corian but you could try it. Regular
polishing compound at an auto supply store works great</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It&#39;s pretty easy. You need an orbital sander to take the
scratches out. Go light because they come out fairly easy. Then take a hand
grinder with rubbing compound or polishing compound and bingo it&#39;s done. One
thing about the orbital grinder, don&#39;t go to high in the sanding process
because it has a tendency to get &quot;squiggly&quot; marks that you&#39;ll have to
get out. It&#39;s really not that hard. Do it dry not wet. Hope this helps.</p>
