MB-20 Granite Polishing Cream - Spot Polish Etches and Dullness to Restore Mercantile Granite, Serpentine, Engineered Stone, Quartzite or Other Ophicalcites - 8.5 Oz Kit

Quality product, performs as expected.

MB20 is the best product for polishing granite countertops. My house was eight years old when I bought it and the previous owner did absolutely no maintenance to the granite countertops in my kitchen. No sealer or anything was done to protect the stone. There was little to no shine and the sink area was the worst. This product has restored my finish to a factory shine. I did two separate applications with both the hogs hair pad and the Super Gloss Pad. You definitely will need a variable speed buffer/grinder to get factory results. This process is very easy but take your time and pay attention to your rpm speed and the MB20 as you work it in the stone. I started working the product in at the lowest rpm (300) and gradually increased to a max of 600 rpm. Corners will need to be done by a hand buffer. This product goes a long way and the eight once container should be more than enough for most kitchens. I have a large kitchen and I have plenty of product leftover. Use about a teaspoon per 2'x2' area. My application was done twice on two separate days. I'm blown away at the results. I really thought I was going to have to hire a professional to restore the finish until I researched this product and process. Well worth it he investment of the variable speed buffer. Research this process on YouTube, there are several good videos that show the process using MB20

I have darker granite stone kitchen counter tops, almost 5 years old. These counters had a high gloss finish when originally installed. On a corner of one I had several scratches from the original installation and around the outer 1/2 to 3/4 inch of the counters that have the heaviest use, a very dull area , I suspect from dishes being dragged of the edges of the counters. There was an overall dullness and lack of shine. We have regularly cleaned and sealed these counters. I'm fairly handy and have a variable speed polisher, so I decided to re-polish these. After much research and online videos, I purchased a set of Stadea wet diamond polishing stones, MB-20 polishing cream and white Norton polishing pads recommended for the MB-20. I started with the plenty of water, the 800 grit and it handily removed the scratches on the corner. I moved on to the 1500 grit and plenty of water for the entire counter leaving a very dull overall finish with no shine. Then to the 3000 grit and plenty of water achieving a very low shine. Moved on to the black final buff pad, worked forever with this and really could not tell it made a difference. Moved on to the MB-20. Very significant difference in the shine, used as directed, massive improvement but not nearly as high a shine as when these were originally installed. I also had a can of a specialty Italian black granite wax I had purchased a couple of years ago, so I decided to try that. Applied the wax, went over it with fine steel wool as directed, the with a clean white Norton buffing pad. The shine just popped! Look better than when they were originally installed.Very pleased with the end result. But, it took me several products and an enormous amount of time and hard work to polish this granite successfully.

Used with a DA polisher and a hogs hair pad. Followed instructions exactly and did a small square of our counters. This does absolutely nothing, pretty sure this has to be some sort of snake oil scam. Ended up getting better results with a stiff foam pad and some light cut automotive polish. Don’t waste your money.

Excellent polish I used in conjunction with hog's hair pads to create clear reflective granite countertop surface. It is very appropriate to eliminate the frosty surface resulting from using different grit discs to get rid of scratch marks

Firstly from the outset let me state I was using on man made stone. I have polished my island bench twice with this compound using an orbital polisher . Some areas I’ve polished 3 times. Outcome is patchy at best. Could be my stone but just don’t know.

Wow this stuff is amazing. I always thought my countertops looked a little dull, even right after being installed. One spot looked particularly bad after having a chip repaired and it appeared they damaged the surface polish around it. After being jerked around by a couple granite places I decided to take matters into my own hands, watched multiple tutorials on polishing granite, ordered some of this MB 20, a hogs hair pad, and picked up a cheap variable speed polisher from Harbor Frieight. I must admit, I was nervous about using a power tool on my countertops so I tried polishing them by hand first with the MB 20, but got zero results. It took me a little bit to get the hang of things with the polisher, I kept backing off too soon and not seeing any results, but the key is don't be afraid to run this stuff dry. It will start out wet, but then dries up and that's when the magic happens. I pretty much stayed on the lowest setting of the polisher which was 600 RPM's. I also went over it a second time with the same hogs hair pad and a few squirts of water to get rid of some residual haziness from the MB 20. I honestly never imagined my countertops could look so good! They are way more shiny than when they were first installed and that one bad spot from the chip repair is gone now (after hand polishing methods and no other products worked). I am so pleased, and actually in love with my granite now!

This works rather well. I am an average handyman around my own house. This is simple To use and really made my 4 year old granite smooth and shiny. In the picture with the polisher on the counter, you can see the unpolished surface behind the polisher and the can of this product. It is dull compared to the polished side. The other two pictures were taken after I cleaned the polish off and used 511 impregnater to seal it up again. I used a hogs hair polishing pad and followed their easy clear directions. Two shiny thumbs up. Thank You.
