Has anyone tried this on formica/laminate counter tops to restore the shine?

This is the first I heard about it! It would be wonderful if it does the job.

You can use it on counter tops but there are better products designed specifically for counter tops. There are so many to choose from and some are easy to use and others are more complicated that it is impossible to recommend one as I do not know all the details of your situation. If you want a shine go ahead and use it, but if you want something more permanent designed specifically for counter tops you should search for that.

Yes and it gives my WilsonArt laminate a deep, clean shine. I use it every two weeks. Highly recommend.

This product is designed to remove the quick shine product from your floors. If you are hoping it will restore a dull laminate to make it shiny, it wont do that. It will deep clean them and remove acrylic shine products.

I use the stone tech for my granite counters in the kitchen. I also have carrera marble counters in the MBR and found " Marble Wax" by Town Talk Polish to work very well on the marble counters. It helped with stains and rings from bottles as it protects the surface and keeps a shine. Since it would be slippery, don't use it on the floor. It also has a wonderful lavender aroma, so you won't even mind the application.

The countertop wax gives the counter some what of a shine but is hard to apply. If there is not every square inch evenly wiped on the counter you will see it in the form of streaks everywhere.

Like any polish it will wash off after a while. I have laminate counter tops and it works great but does need to be re-applied after a few counter top washings.

Good afternoon, I used it on my laminate floors that has a matte finish and it worked fine but takes some real elbow grease to get the old wax up. The laminate I have are the lowest quality laminate the builder could install and it survived just fine. After trying this brand I went back to the original brand I purchased and ran out of. Armstrong® "New Beginning Resilient Deep Cleaning Floor Cleaner" It might not be a green product but it saves hours of time. Both are quality products but one of them takes less work.

Hi Walter, I have laminate floors and they looked better than new after I used this stuff. I used the renew stuff without using the cleaning product they recommend first, and it still looked great. The shine lasts for a good long time, and when you want it to look like new again, just apply this stuff (simple) and let it dry... It's easy to apply, you just squirt it on the floor and then use a clean sponge type mop with a clean cloth on it to spread it around.....

It`s not ment for bare wood. It reacts with the original finish and brings back the shine. It works well if and old finish is still there

For a laminate it more than likely will leave somewhat of a shine. As it clearly does this, even on a wood fly that is dried out.I have used it hardwood floors in many of my rentals and I have been happy with the results each and every time.

I personally have never tried that but I have seen this product - Resin Craft Surface Coat Spray - Fast drying, clear gloss finish/sealer. Ideal for fixing small blemishes in cured resin pieces. I would be interested to see if that works. It is from Environmental Technology.

I have tried/used this on my stainless steel countertops (but not a cooktop). It does work. A little goes a long way, though, and you have to be sure to keep rubbing (w a paper towel or soft, lintless rag) to make sure you remove all the restorer before you use the countertop again.

As a stone worker of 20 years I would strongly recommend against using this on marble. Having said that, I've never tried it so I'm not 100% sure it won't work. I think you would be better off hiring somebody to polish your counters.

Yes. My countertop is formica and its just fine. Iwwill warn about 'spinning' though. The vessel sink sits on top of the counter, no matter what material the counter is. It isn't possible to tighten it enough to stop it from spinning without breaking the vessel sink. Its beautiful and works great, but it will 'spin' if you push against it.

I have never tried. I use Meguiar's (Natural Shine Protectant) for that. It works very well for me and doesn't leave a greasy, sticky residue.

I've not used it on formica, my counter tops are lacquered wood but the counter top doesn't get particularly hot beneath the griddle which is elevated by plastic legs about 1 ½" from the counter top.

It works well. I have brought up the shine on 1920s-1930s Rogers & Bros flatware that I even found in a root cellar and simichrome worked magic. I find it less abrasive than MAAS, yet more effective at removing unwanted patina/dirt/darkness. Or, in some cases like bronze or silver where the patina enhances the piece in spots, the less abrasive nature of the polish allows for strategic polishing. Example: a vintage Mexican silver bracelet with beautifully worked silver, the darker parts that enhance the piece are blended into the bright fully polished silver of the parts that look best when shined. Tip for flatware: a dry "medium" to "hard" toothbrush (bristled) a little seed bead sized amount of simichrome placed directly on the prongs of fork or pattern. Brush it in where discolored or dark then use a dry white cloth or durable (Viva, for me) paper towel to wipe off & buff.
