Hi there,
We purchased some granite and wanted it to have a ‘polished’ finish, instead, it came out with a ‘honed’ finish; but they assured us that they could seal it to give it that wet look we were looking for. So they did that and it did look better. Now, 3 weeks later, it looks dull again but they say they can reapply and that it usually takes a few coats; but will then provided lasting results for the “wet look”.
What do you think?

Thank you,
Rob

Hello Rob,

I’ve never heard of such a practice. No way would a topical seal on granite be long lasting on a countertop surface. If you provide the name of the granite and the product they are applying, then I could give you a more technical response. Bottom line, three coats will just take longer to wear away.

Best wishes,

Tom Cordova
