Am interested in using this product on a high volume bathroom vanity. Will this product withstand nicks and scratches from daily use?

We used this on both of our bathroom vanities & to date I have noticed nothing that it hasn't held up to. Just for an fyi..we did coat it three times but this product & the java gel worked GREAT! Thanks & hope this helps. Jenn

We used this product in our kitchen - it works great! I was really happy with it & the bathroom vanity is the next project!

I don't believe so. My sink is halfway in a 6' run of countertop and it looks great. I'll see if I can dig up some pics. It's a beautiful sink with no scratches after 3 yrs of use.

I am using it in a business bathroom where it gets lots of use daily. So far so good, but it has only been in service for about a month. No problems and I don't see why it wouldn't hold up though. Other than the underside clamp ring being flimsy and not holding it to the sink well, it seems like a very nice product. I personally don't like that you have to hold your hands very close to the spout for it to activate, but once you position your hands in that "sweet spot" it works great and reliably shuts off. So much better than the plunger type valve that it replaced. Chrome finish wipes to a shine easily. I am using it in a business bathroom where it gets lots of use daily.

Hi Kimberly,This was a Christmas gift for my mother, so I bought it and shipped it to her clear across the country. I did, however, see it over the Christmas holidays and can tell you that she has very expensive granite countertops and had no problem whatsoever with the carousel scratching or doing any sort of damage whatsoever. Do not be scared of this purchase. Promise.

It dulled the look of some pretty deep scratches on my wood table. I assume it will depend on the depth of the scratches as well as the material of the countertop. I would not recommend for other than wood.

yes I think it would hold up against scratching. Since owning it and it not being the cheapest watch I worried about hitting it on things walking or moving things. I've even hit hard enough where I looked down just to make sure I didn't break the face. All it still well with not a single scratch!!

I've only had it for about 1 month, but haven't had any problems. The plumber that installed it did scratch a part of the shower arm with the pliers he was using, so I would recommend putting a cloth between or something. Other than that, the finish certainly looks sturdy.

Hard for me to say. This is a good but not excellent quality sink. This is not the highest end stainless steel--a magnet can stick to it so it is not the highest grade. Having said that, after 18 months of heavy use, there are no dents in it. It is moderately scratch resistant. In terms of your question, hard for me to say as I have a water softener. But probably would stain easily with hard water. For me it was a question of cost. A higher quality Kohler stainless sink was another $300. For the money I am happy with this sink. Please let me know what you decide and how it works out for you.

I did my countertops a few months ago, and so far so good. If you leave things sitting on the counter for long periods, it leaves tiny indentions but they disappear over time. You do get very tiny scratches from cleaning but can not tell unless you are inches from the countertop. You must work quickly with this stuff because it does harden fast, but the end result looks nice as everyone thinks I have new granite countertops now.

I haven't noticed any denting at all. It does get marked up easily with hand prints, etc, but that's easily remedied with Windex or Method cleaning spray. Love this piece. Very functional!

I think it will work on a vanity but...I would add a board on the inside of the vanity to brace and displace the weight. The walls of vanities are generally very thin and may not support the weight. You will have to make sure you have room for the extra board on the inside between the vanity wall and the drawers if they are on that side.

I only did this in all of my bathrooms. I've had it on for a year, and it hasn't chipped or worn off. I'm not sure on kitchens, but you have to be careful on putting hot objects on it. Overall, I've been impressed with it in my bathrooms.

absolutely! ours looks great, this is not a flimsy piece, it shows no sign of wear at all and I have this towel bar and the matching toilet paper roll holder in a very busy first floor bathroom. keep your oil rubbed bronze pieces dry and they will look fabulous all the time. It's a little hard at times for the faucet but it's worth the effort : )

I use it in decorative crafts that aren't subject to scratches, dents or harsh weather. Don't know that it would hold up well for the project you describe. If you try, follow mix instructions closely or you'll have sticky goop.

I have a mix of polished nickel and polished chrome. It blends well. I placed the rack on the wall over the toilet and it is too far away from the sink and bath faucets to see a difference. I love it and it gives the look and function I was seeking.

I have had this for about a month. I use it once a day, and haven't put a dent in it. It is very silky, so a little goes a long way.

I have stainless steel hardware. A little goes a long way and works well. I would try putting just a small amount on a soft cloth so you wont scratch the polished nickel and give it a try.
