Looking for an everyday household product that will remove light scratches from a piece of Black Granite . I've tried Brass polish but it didn't work , the granite company that closed sometime ago used to touch a block of something to a polishing wheel on an electric drill to the edges of something he had rounded the with a grinder and it would take out the grinder marks and leave it smooth and shinny so i was hoping there would be something we might have about the house that would have the same effect .
Being Black the marks are more noticeable however they cant be any more than the thickness of the polished surface , so light infarct that i cant feel anything when i run my hail over them .
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions .
In order of 'kindness' to the surface I'd try:
Toothpaste
Smoker's Toothpaste
Regipol – which is cerium oxide powder (mix with water to a paste) available on eBay
Then probably finish off (if necessary) with jeweller's rouge for a mirror finish.
A power tool with a polishing head will save on the elbow grease. The cerium oxide is a bit fierce, so go easy with it and check results frequently. If power polishing with it, pause frequently to allow cooling.
