ERIC,

Your clarity comes from honing process, the polishing process brings the shine and the gloss.

Georgia: no, did not try MB-12. How is that different from 22? Funny you ask about resin... I don't know. It occurred to me on the way home though. Previously I've only been concerned with resining on granites. How would MB-22 affect a resined stone? 22 won't polish a resined stone?

John: The etches are not the problem. They were removed completely starting at 800. They were not serious etches. The surface is completely uniform now, just lacking the clarity of the factory finish. Yes, this is marble. Acid sensitive and Mohs hardness between 3 and 4.

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

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.
