Hi Kevin,
I will have to look for the pic. I ground it level with a 100 grit, 3" lippage metal bond pad. Then 5" 220 resin, color matched and epoxy filled the seam. 220 the seam then 400,800,1500,3000 then mb8 on a felt pad. I got the shine back but too much micro phishers.
I got all the compound scrubed out then used Ager color enhancer to darken the phishers but it was so shiny you could see them all.
I'll look for pics.
Thanks

I had a similar situation where I used to much polishing compound and it was trapped in the stone causing a similar effect. I had to clean the granite using alkaline base cleaner and a medium grit brush. A picture may help offer a solution!

>> Hello Pros,
>> I had a granite countertop I polished about six months ago. It was installed uneven at the seam. I was hired to grind it level & polish it out. I ground it down level and perfectly  even but my problem came when I tried to finish the polish. I ended up with too many micro phishers. Those tiny little spider web cracks. The polish came out good and it was just as shiny but too many micro phishers. It was obvious.
>> I came back with a tenax product called micro phisher remover which did nothing then a wax I was told by a granite fabricator that would work that did nothing. I also tried this watery clear 2 part epoxy that we use on concrete that didn't stick. I applied it at 100 grit. It just flaked off as I got higher in diamond grit.
