counter top marks
Hello Folk's, Recently bought a house with white countertops. Best I can tell, they are either some type of stone or fake stone. They are too light to be stone, I think. By looking at the ends they are 1 inch solid, not laminate.
The counters are nice looking except the previous owner didn't believe in cutting boards and have knive marks all over the place.(maybe a hint that they are not stone)Can I grind or sand the marks out and somehow buff the tops back to life? Should I get a pro, if so who??
Thanks for any ideas or help in advance!!! Eric

What you are describing may be a solid surface countertop. Does the sink appear to be integral with the top as a seamless installation? If so it can be sanded out with a random orbit sander connected to a vacuum to catch the dust. Start with 100 grit sandpaper and work your way to 280 to 320 grit, then polish with a red Scotch Bright pad (available at an automotive store).

Hey Cntrtop, Thanks for the inofrmation. The sink is not seamless. Basic stainless top mount sink.
Can I seal this with polyurethane or anything else???
Thanks Eric
