I didn't give it a second thought as it has been so indestructable! Well, I just noticed several areas where it has discolored the granite and I'm wondering what I can do at this point. Would a polish help or possibly sanding? It's already honed and it is absolute black in color. Thanks for any advice you can give me. Lynette Hi,

I have a big piece from a former company I worked for. It was part of our counter top (like a bank-money was placed on it from customers). I want to refinish this and make it into an island. I couldn't contain all the steps he took on TV except the diamond sanding. What do I do to refinish My marble? Luille I saw a man on DYI refinish a slab of marble or a kitchen island.

First I reviewed the DVD twice, took a few notes to get the sequence of the products understood. I then did the flashlight test to determine what I had to do with the marble (how bad it was). Once I determined I did not need to hone the marble, I went about restoring, sealing and protecting using the directions. My marble looks better than when I bought it. My wife and I are really really happy, we researched this activity on-line for a few weeks, reading here and there. The products and the process work.
