Roger,<div><br></div><div>Metal marks are a common problem quartz and granite. The metal is softer than the stone and it smears across the surface.  It can be removed using a polishing powder. Take some powder and a white terry cloth towel. Moisten the towel and rub the powder into the mark. It should disappear<br>

<div><div class="im">Hi Roger,<div><br></div><div>My first question is, why are they rubbing metal on this?  Second question, what kind of metal is it?  Is it a decoration that gets moved around often?  If so, one option to prevent markings would be to place felt or other protective plastic item to the bottom of the metal piece. Metal can also cause rust stains and scratches.  Some man made materials can etch and take on rust stains.  Remember to keep the <span>Moh&#39;s</span> Scale in mind. Chances are the metal is a harder material than the man made surface.</div>

They can get the mark out, but is there anything they can apply that would
