Starting at an 800 grit would not remove the etch. Etch marks need tone started with at least a 220 diamond and go up from there.  At least 800 or 1800 feathering out each grit then polish. I am assuming this is a marble top not granite. The 800 and higher grits are polishing grits and will not remove damage on marble

Subject: [sccpartners] MB-22 Issue

   Good evening partners. Repairing an etched white marble island today (attached). 800, 1500, 3000 then MB-22 polish. Not even close to the factory finish. And the area that overlapped onto the factory finish had dulled it.
 
   Kind of lost here. Just did a vanity last week using same method that turned out fantastic.
 
   Upon closer inspection, while the factory finish appears flat as glass, the polished area seems microscopically pitted. Not like an orange peel... much smaller. I don't know if this is the cause of the lack of clarity.
