<div>In some cases color enhancer has helped and or a good cleaning. At times I have also gotten rings on the edges of where I layed the poultice. It was like It pulled the stain and it was somehow forced out to edges and required additional poulticing.</div>


<div>In other cases I have tried honing and repolishing these areas with little success.Sometimes MB-20 or a crystalizer may help. It seems to be a crap shoot unfortunately and can cost time.</div><div>That means repeated visits that a client in most cases will not pay for. </div>


<div>Anyway-I don&#39;t know the actual reason these occurrences happen but I am pretty satisfied we aren&#39;t bleaching color out of the stone as a mineral has a particular color which will only change or intensify when wet or highly polished.</div>


<div>I have been back to a job recently on a juparana top that we removed grease stains and were stuck with a lighter mark. After several years the light spot was gone. Not sure if it was the UV light but thast what I gotta figure. </div>


<div>I think time will fix the issue but pretty hard to tell that to the american consumer after the problem has occurred. </div><div>So now we tell customers about all these pitfalls that can happen when poulticing. <br>
