Stone Pro: Granite Restoration 

I use zymol car polish on my counter... works like a charm and it also has beeswax to prevent future water residue

I have used this process in 5 different homes. 3 were not in bad shape with little to no scratches and it worked awesome! the other two were pretty foggy from hard water cleaning. Again they turned out perfect with better than factory finish. One had a fairly deep scratch and had to be honed out and finished with this process. I was extremely impressed with the results and so were my clients. Trust me.... You are not doing an entire kitchen with several tops and an island in 20 minutes. I mask off everything though. Take your time and remember, you do not need much of this powder. What I do different than the video: I use a hog hair pad on slowest speed to apply stone scrub. let it set and clean as in the video. I use hog hair pad instead of steel wool. This process does work well especially when the tops just need a good cleaning, seal, and polish.

You made that look easy. Im gonna give it a shot. Calling shortly to order products. Thanks for the video.

Thanks! We carry the entire line of Stone Pro products in our catalog and on our website!

We went to stone pro and their dealers, and really had a hard time finding the products used in this video. Finally went to J.Racenstein and was able to get the last couple of products we need. Hope it works :)

The polisher being used in the video is a Hardin Variable Speed Polisher. You can look up part # 76-451 on our website.

@ my home, the granite has become 1. cloudy 2. rough 3. lost luster , will this help ?? also do we need that electric polisher ? can i use my handheld 20 V drill with the right pad ?

Can you fix quartzite counter tops that are very dull in some areas and shiny in others?

This is the love part of my love hate relationship with the internet. I really need help with this. Thank you for sharing.

After how many hours can the countertops be use ? Can I use a Dual action polisher for this job?

I couldn’t see the labels clearly. What are they and where can I get them?

You showed us how to do it but you didn't tell us what product you were using what's the name of the product that you're putting on

Great info and beautiful piece of granite, but OMG, entirely way too many steps. I'm researching how to clean granite and travertine floors for our new home, but there are too many conflicting results and the only constant is to stay away from acid.

Hello, I would like to know what is the reason that you are not using simple water as a basic lubricant? Also, what pressure are you applying when using the angle polisher? A steel wool plate, can you say how would you define it in GRIT? 200, 400?? Thank-you!

My buffer's lowest speed is 1000 RPM. Can I use it for this?

A complete list of products with item numbers would greatly help. Also, you don't mention what number steel wool that you use. I believe I found everything except the polish in the final step.

I experimented with permanent black maker and it seems to stick on the granite pretty well. I tried to rub it off and it won't come off. The only thing is that the marker ink can be removed with rubbing alcohol. I wonder if I stain it with the marker and then seal it with some sort of sealant would that work?

how much charge?

Nice

Would anybody suggest equivalent products for UK? There are so many kits, which are usually useless money makers.

I know this is an Old Video but hoping you are still around on youtube and could help me, I am restoring a house that had a fire, The granite is a lighter grey and is stained from the smoke/soot sitting on it for several months, you can see where anything was sitting when the fire happened, I have tried everything I can think of and nothing works, I can get it clean but it still has the tan tint. Thinking maybe sanding and repolishing but need guidance.

My granit has never been shiny. Maybe it was not professionally polished by the installer. How can I get it shiny and polished?

Where do i buy all those products and where do I get the buffer tool?

What do I use to fill pitted granite tops. Some areas are pitted most arent

Any classes offered in Kansas I live in Holton Kansas and I think this would be something I would love to learn to do

Is there a way to stain or change color of granite. I have an ugly looking purple granite that I would like to change the color. Thanks.

Our granite has grout between the pieces. Does this work on the grout at the same time or do you treat the grout separately and have to use a grout sealer on the grout lines to keep the calcium deposits at a minimum?

Potato powder? Maybe I did not hear that right?

Is this an appropriate process for countertops that are pitted almost everywhere? It seems the previous owners used cleaners that etched the surface.

Can I make a suggestion? Perhaps it’s not the best idea to start off your video with the words “here’s a way to squeeze a little bit more money out of your customer ...” Even if true , a more diplomatic way of wording this that doesn’t sound like you’re trying to nickel and dime them for everything they’ve got might be good.. just sayin..

Where wil get these products?

What if the granite has small cracks can that fix it?

what would you use in a marble shower

can a burn be repaired? also, my granite is black and white, is it consider light or dark? thanks

My granite is similar in color to that shown in the video. Would you consider that a light or dark color granite?

My granite is a poor quality granite that was here when we purchased the house. It always feels like crumbs are on it. Is there anything we can do to fix that?

Does this remove years and years of deep set in stains like oils?

do you sell the polisher adapter separately ?

May I apply this to marble ?

I have really bad staining in my granite, will this get them out? If not, what will? I tried the baking soda method and it didnt work.

will it remove oil stains?

hello, my granite floors color is dark. I want to change. can i change color from dark to white? ?

I have some oil and water stains on my granite. How can I order your products and what are the products that I need to remove these stains.

I live in Fresno, California.What store in town has that materials?

Does it work for quartz?

Mark Thornton - why would you say "never use crystallizer" when polishing granite?? NEVER is limiting. Many granite polishing paste, compounds and powders have magnesium flourosilicate in them and they work just fine. Maybe you should try for yourself before condeming it. And maybe you shouldn't beleive everything you are told ....maybe you should see for yourself what works for you and what doesn't and allow others to do the same before offering your expert advise of "NEVER" and "no, no, no"

How can I lighten my dark yellowish granite?

I have a Kashmir White Granite. I got alot oil stain. Do you think it's work?

I have found the StonePro site but what/where do I find the Granite Pattaya (sp?)

You spray a crystallizer on the surface and buff it gone using a steelwool pad and a polisher - If you cant lean this "spray and buff" application of a crystallizer overnight...maybe you should not be doing stone .

The prior owners put in granite but the sealer applied was applied incorrectly - Instead of a smooth finish it is rough and always feels dirty. Would this process take off that corrupted finish.

Hello i'm from Colombia and i would like to know if you can send me all those productos i really need them for customer service thank you for helping me

what is the polishing tool that you are using in this video?

It's a way to "get back into my home"?? Sounds horrible and creepy.

What rpms are you running the buffer?

i can't find the crystallizer in the jrc site. What's the name of the product?

do you have pricing on counter tops an flooring you charge people in california ? I'm taking a class this week to clean granite and different kinds of stone. Were can I find hog hair at? nice video you can really see the difference from the dull side an to the side you cleaned. if you have a email address can I write you on there pls and thank you.

I sat some Tub and Tile on my counter top and it leaked!! Now it has a rough feeling to it, what will I need to do to make it better? It seems maybe the sealer would do the trick? Or heck even the whole process. I have a whole kitchen that is granite black countertop and I need it all looking the same. If I did that one spot would it stick out like a sour thumb?

Does the product removes oil stains from granite??

What would I use to remove a water satin, I have a leaky faucet and water unfortunately got on to the granit tile now it's darker

feels like a million products... soons as it seemed he was done...NOPE 10 more products to go

If toilet bowl cleaner was spilled onto a black granite counter top the color would fade out how can this be repaired?

Depending on the level of cleaning that needs to be done, you may want to call a professional that works with stone on a regular basis to properly clean, restore, polish, and seal the stone. Then you can use a daily cleaner to easily maintain the shine without much effort!

what was in the 1 pound tub how do u spell it

I WENT TO A GRANITE POLISHING STORE TODAY AND SHOWED THEM YOUR VIDEO.... THEY LAUGHED ME OUT OF THE BUILDING... THEY EVEN CALLED ME AT HOME AND ARE STILL LAUGHING....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

20 min lol ,took you 7min for that piece

why are you using crystillizers on granite thats a no no.

Hogs hair? No thanks.

OYE! Kitchens are so much maintenance today. Go back to the easy to clean Formica. Much quieter to. Not so much loud noise in a kitchen. Stainless is just as bad. These kitchen would never last back in the days when people cooked all meals and kitchens didn't look like they are never used.

This isn't right. You shouldn't have to be going back to customers houses to resurface the tops. Instead, you should be informing your customers on how to clean the tops. One of the big reasons why people go with granite, is so they don't have to deal with the maintenance and repairs that you do with corian and such. Consumers will start to stray away from natural stone if they think there will be problems down the road, and they have to hire someone to fix it.

Courtesy not delve much, but ... This video is not serious ... If you have any problems with your kitchen countertop, please contact a mason.

call a professional restoration company and check them out for past work.there are too many untrained people doing restoration.
