Fred,<div><br></div><div>I honed it from 100 to 3000 and then polished for about 5 mins with dark powder and crystallization fluid (no water) on a number 0 steel wool pad. It did shine up nicely but it is a lighter color. </div>
<div>I am sure the people that installed it must have put something on it to make it look darker. Is there any way that I might be able to match it without knowing what they used?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>

Dustin<div><br></div><div>How did you polish it..I would use a dark granite polishing powder and use a crystallization fluid instead of water. Go wet to dry..should pop a nice shine.</div><div><div><div></div><div class="h5">

I am in need of some ideas from the group. I had a small repair job on a granite counter top from what looked to be an etching ring. After the repair the color of the newly polished area is noticeably lighter in color. I tried to color match it by using Stone Tech Enhancer Pro and it got closer but still dose not match. <div>


<br></div><div>Dose anyone have any ideas for me other than just redo the entire counter top. My fear is if I try to redo the entire counter top I will have a dark line at the edge of the splash boards. </div><div><br></div>


<div>Any help is welcome </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>Dustin Fox <br clear="all"><br>--------------------------------------------------<br>Vallarta Stone Care<br>Puerto Vallarta, Mexico<br>619-819-6762 (US)<br>
