If you are going just hone it, proceed with your granite diamonds top 200g or the desired level of sheen/color.
If you are gfoing to antique/leather, you will need to start at least at a 36g - 46g brush and then proceed all the way through to the level desired. A higher sheen and darker color will result from going up to 400g or 500g. Check with BBI to see what brushes they have in stock. You will probably need a snail-lock driver too.
Color enhance using Akemi Color Intensifier once you get to the level desired.
Good luck, that is no easy job.

Hey Stu & Bob, it’s a kitchen counter top. The customer changed his mind which is great! Because I didn’t want to do it. But I started a sample and etched it pretty good with Klenztone 1. But it needs another step.

Klenztone 1 actually works great on absolute black. We’ve done it many times, it comes out nice & even spread it let it dwell and clean it off perfectly etched absolute black,  Grant Don’t even need the polisher spread it let it dwell and clean it off perfectly etched Absolute Black Granite I’ll have to look up the jetstik, I never heard of it, who makes it?
