Default Granite restoration

My granite countertops are dull and need of repair. Can anyone recommend a company that will work on granite that was not purchased from them. OTC products do not work. Thanks.

Have you contacted a Granite Shop? May find a professional answer there!

Yes, tried the granite place on Rolling Acres and they would do it if we bought the granite from them.

Before you give up, find a product that it two steps one a cleaner and the second one a wax polish. It is a lot of work. A major problem is if you have and use one of those soap
pumps. We do not use ours and never have.

Also, cloth works far better than paper.

I purchased diamond finishing pads for a fire pit, these were on Amazon very reasonable price. They go from 80 grit to 10,000 grit. The 10,000 grit, with water and a slower speed on my angle grinder works real well. After I bought this I have seen other alternatives that are hand polishers with replaceable pads that go to the 10,000 grit range. This is the range you want for a glass finish. Before you ask, I did this for myself, I will be glad to discuss, but I am currently not interested in doing this for others.
