Adam,
The technistone is like an engineered stone. I’m surprised to hear the stone is etched. Are you sure the stone is etched or is the resin in the stone damaged. If this is made up of 93 % granite and quartz then these products will not etch. This is why I think you are seeing the damage in the resin.
You can hone and polish this stone, suggest getting diamonds for engineer stone. I think Stonecare Central has them or can get them. Afpha Tools makes a very good diamond for this surface.
When doing these type of surface keep in mind the damage is primarily in the resin so you can in most cases start honing at a higher grit. Hone up to 3000 grit then you can crystalize the surface and you should end up with a great looking stone again.

Subject: [sccpartners] technistone
I have customer that have few etch marks on her countertop made out of technistone. I checked their website (eu http://www.technistone.eu/en/, us company went bankrupt 4 years ago) and found that in fact can be damaged with certain chemicals. It is 93% granite and quartz and rest are the bonding resins. I have never work on something like that.
Did anybody work on technistone?
Should I stay away or can be done?
How?
