I think you seeing more of a build up from the detergents the
customer is using in a day in day out cleaning practices. What happens in most
cases the customer cleans their countertops after ding the dishes. There is a
certain amount of cooking oils and greases that would be in the water.
I think if you go in using a alkaline based cleaner scrub the
granite top , maybe 2 times, then repolish the granite top using a crystallizer
, apply a solvent based sealer and the counter top should be clean and
shinny.
This had been my experience in the past.

Will crystalizing and sealing
this stone make it acid sensitive?

Thanks guys. John, would you apply a color enhancing
or non-color enhancing impregnating solvent sealer? Walter-is the tenax ager
like a color enhancing solvent based sealer?
Thanks,

Buff it and apply Ager from Tenax. Might do the trick and
it'll last until the check clears. You can always leave the can with them.

Hi. I just took a look at a granite counter top that
the owners want to have polished. I cleaned a test area and the counter appeared
to have good clarity and gloss with no wear or scratches particularly.
But it does have kind of smeary (is that a word?) cast to it that leads me to
believe that the top is coated with resin. I did a test on an edge with
some acetone and took out a faint black material, which I assume is not
dirt. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to get the top looking
better? I assume that MB-20 and the like will not work so well.
Maybe I am not reading it right and the top is the real thing. I am not
sure how to test for this.
Thanks.
