It's all about the product and prep work. I wonder about polyaspartics, they could be an option. Of course they will never look as good, but not as ugly as etching. I know that the experienced stone restoration guy will often have much higher standards than the customer.

Some surfaces are just meant for topical coatings like saltillo , terracotta ,slate, concrete and others.
Marble,Limestone and Travertine surfaces seem to look not natural when topicals are applied.
Besides that there is a chance they will fail-
Risky Business in my opinion unless you write a good contract.
I like TK 6-I haven,t used it on marble yet.

Stu can you use the TK6 on marble counter tops to prevent etching in kitchens?

We use TK 6 on concrete countertops

It works well after it cures

You can use 2/3 coats and the top it off with super top

See if your client can get the MSDS from the other contractor and give you a copy. That should tell you what the other guy is using.
If the guy isn't that smart he will supply it to the client

Mike,

I picked up 2 Festool orbital sanders and a vac from a local woodworking store. Used them dry with screens ( different grits) to complete a project at the National Archives here in DC. They do a great job honing, quickly,  cleanly and consistent finish. Just something to look into. Good luck.

I have a client with 41 units all with marble kitchens. They don’t want to pay for Clearseal, and my CrystalCote film didn’t hold up to his slicing with a knife (go figure).

 

They had someone come in and do some sort of topical and they said it is doing well. They want a bid from me to do the same which I will do shifting all liability of possible short lifespan off to them. 

 

I was thinking of using TK6 from Richard James, after prep sanding with a 120 or 220 nickel pad. or a random orbital with paper. I have to see what the sealer will fill in. 

 

Any ideas regarding methods, prep, application pads, etc?

 

This is the stone, like a white breccia something.
