Hi. Has anyone had any success at DIY polishing old granite, marble or Caesarstone slabs.
I’ve got some salvaged black granite at the the moment. I cut it to the appropriate size for a vanity top without any problem, but polishing the edge is beyond me. I can get it close but just never really glossy. I have from 100 to 6000 grits which I apply sequentially but somehow the result just doesn’t come.
I’m thinking if I could at least polish the edges that would be good. I don’t expect to be able to repolish the flat surfaces although if someone has done that successfully then let’s hear about it.
Over the years I’ve had quite a few salvaged slabs that I should have been able to do something with - including a mountain of Carrara marble salvaged from a very rich persons bathroom - I should have been able to do something with that but foolishly I just gave it away or dumped it.
Anyone done this?
