Baird,
Use a lower grit rubbing compound and the shine will be lower. The use of the rubbing compound is to remove any diamond swirls that maybe in the countertop

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).

Baird,
An epoxy will work, match the color the best you can, don’t add too much hardener as it could get hot and attack the corina

Thanks guys. One more question. If there are nail holes to plug, would I fill the with colored epoxy?

You could also google restoring corian because when i first started doing it, they have pretty straight forward instructions on how to do it on their website.

Baird-
Try 180 or 220 grit, try not to go to aggressive since it's actually alot softer than you think. Don'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 greatOn Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 5:18 PM, Baird Standish <bairdstandish@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Walter. What grit sandpaper should I use? Also, can I use marble polishing compound?

It'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's done. One thing about the orbital grinder, don't go to high in the sanding process because it has a tendency to get "squiggly" marks that you'll have to get out. It's really not that hard. Do it dry not wet. Hope this helps.

Hi,
I received a request from a client about taking scratches out of a corian counter. Is this possible? Does anyone have experience with this?
