Default Granite counters

We bought a spec home in TV 5 yrs ago and it has granite counters. They gave us granite care products and we sealed the counters. I absolutely HATE these granite counters. During the first six months they started yellowing where we use them the most(ours is the brown, cream, black colors). I have tried all different kinds of cleaners (soap & water, windex, simple green, peroxide) and cannot get the yellowing out. I even tried the poultice method, it didn't work! Counters are still yellowing. There are etched spots from who knows what. If I could afford it, I would replace them in a minute! I have a friend who has the black granite and her counters always look greasy and smeared. I would go back to formica; much less expensive if something does happen to them or you want to change decor, and there are so many new beautiful designs now. JMHO
