Seal and Polish Granite and marble?
November 7th, 2009 | by admin |I am not sure, but I think I should polish my newly installed granite countertop, then seal it. Is this correct?
So after I seal it, can I still polish it like 6 months or 1 year later?
Yes, and when you mean polish I suppose you mean that light dirty film left over after installation.
The supplier you purchased the granite from should recommend a cleaner/sealer to keep the stone maintained properly. A good cleaner will have protection properties which replenish the protection every time you use it. This ensures many years of non staining. A good product is Revitalizer by Stonetech.
The stone does need an intense sealer/impregnator initially and should have been done by the installer or fabricator. You can do it yourself if you follow the instructions carefully.

the newly installed granite should be polished before it was installed you should never have to polish it you could use an impregnating sealer on it depending on use every 6 month’s should do it and check out the marble institute of America recommendations also

yes , you can… what is wrong with it and why do you need to polish it again? If it needs to be polished newly installed, you need to call the installer/ fabricator back and speak to him.Granite is a great material and should not be a high maintenance product.

All that’s needed is a good, thorough cleaning before sealing.
