For use on porcelain surfaces only. Do not use on marble, fiberglass, Formica, Corian or other plastic materials, glass shower doors, mirrors, marble, fiberglass, shower stalls, and epoxy tubs or sinks.

I would think so..I have used it under heavy stepping stones and decorative stones.

I used it on black grained granite. Worked like a charm.Marble is softer than granite. Take your time and don't rush the process. Use course grit and work your way to the fine grit. I would use rubber boots, water will go everywhere. It should work fine. Keep the grinding wheels fairly flat, or you could knock the diamond segments off the wheel.

I do not think it will dull the shine (but it will not make it shinier either). The trick it not to leave the sealer on granite too long.

we wash our granite top with soap & water. works fine. make sure it's cool 1st. also we found it best to allow plenty of time for the stone to heat thru.

I don't know. I bought this one because it sounded like it would be thinner and go more fully into the microscopic holes in the granite. that was my thinking. maybe I should do both, one after the other. would be interested in what others think about this.

Hi Barbara, I use the Black Diamond Granite Cleaner. It deep cleans and makes the granite look new again and dries quickly so you can seal your granite. I have also used Granite Care Kit found at Home Depot (www.stonecare.com). It contains four bottles 1. Degreaser 2. Stone Polish 3. Disinfectant 4. Sealer. I paid under $25.00 and has worked great also. Each bottle is 8 oz. Hopefully I answered your question.

I don't know what is recommended, but I would not put it in the dishwasher. I fear it would make the stone brittle.

No, it will not dull it; just follow the instructions on the bottle! I've used this on my last two homes, which both have granite countertops.

Granite is not sealed at the factory. It is sealed after it is installed. Be sure to use an appropriate sealer if your installers did not do that for you.

I would say yes ! Although granite is very robust much more diffcult to etch which is not the case with travertine. This product worked flawlessly with travertine. Granite is a much harder stone then travertine. With that being said it might require more effort when applying this product to granite. Travertine is a type of limestone and is calcium based. Granite Is more dense and tends to hold up better in high traffic areas. So all in all granite can be polished with giis product but be prepared to use a little more elbow grease ! Good luck !

Try it. If it slips, take a clean cotton or linen dish towel and maybe dampen it slightly on your granite surface under the Dexas plastic rectangle.

I've used it on my granite turntable and other granite items without any difficulty, I would not hesitate to use it on a granite countertop.

I used it on a cream granite and left a small residue. The residue is now gone so I don't think you should worry about it but just in case test it on an area where most people can't see. My installer left behind the pieces where the apron sink was to be installed so I test it there first to make sure no issues. If you have any un used pieces test it there first if not, just go where you got the stone and they typically have broken pieces they don't mind giving away. Hope all goes great!

hi tom, polishing a granite top is in itself risky. if the seams are uneven, don't. if the bonding agent is sticking up, that would work. the color will not penetrate a hardened, sealed granite. it has to be gouged out and refilled with the right color compound. sorry, no real good news! mike

I'm sorry I don't think so I only use it to shine my granite not for removing anything else...its a polish!

I only used it on driveway pavers. It worked beautifully but I can't say how hard they are compared to granite.
