Has anyone had experience using this on kitchen counters using white carerra marble? Trying to see if this is good enough for lots of etches...

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 used it on dark granite which produces a light colored dust which is not attractive with dark material but shouldn't be a problem with marble. I would start with higher grit to Evaluate your results. Marble is softer, as I have heard, and the lower grits remove stone very fast.

I am not sure if I would use it on marble. I don't know if I would use it on anything that is a flat surface you use every day (like floor, countertops, etc). We used it on the ceramic floor tile and regret this decission. The sealer started peeling off after just few weeks in the "high traffic" areas, while the edges are still shiny. That doesn't look good and we are planning on having the whole floor treated to get the sealer off. For any flat surface, I wouldn't recommend to use the high gloss sealer at all. Hope it helps.

I agree with Molly. I would try it on a very small section that is not too visible. Whink is very strong so using it diluted more that once would be better that using it full strength on marble.

It cut ceramic tile and milk quartz so far.... have not tried marble on it. Quite possibly will though.

I have used it on lighter granite with great success (also used with a sponge). Given how granite tends to vary a good bit, I took some and worked it into the underside of the countertop that is not visible first to make sure it did not impact the color/finish, and I think this is probably a good assurance check before using on the visible portion of the countertop.

Hey, that one is safe for marble. It is the one I use when installing marble in kitchens.

Hi John - I'm a total novice and I purchased a 4" Wet/Dry granite polishing Pad set to remove some chips we had on a travertine floors. The Pads worked great. Very pleased there are some videos on you tube that were helpful in showing how to use pads. As far as the densifier and sealer I'm not sure what products you are talking about. We don not have any marble only travertine. Sorry if this was not helpful...

I've never used it on marble. Use on marble is not listed on the product label so I would beware. Evelyn

Yes, I have used it for many years on my formica style counter tops. Works very well.

I used this polishing kit on granite and it worked perfectly. Every article I have seen on the internet regarding carrera marble does not appear to recommend machine polishing but the one youtube video showed hand polishing with similar diamond grit pads of increasing fineness. I think that since marble is so much softer than granite you have to be extremely careful and perhaps skilled to avoid damaging the surface with a tool like this.

I was able to get a sample size of this cleaner from my granite dealer. Perhaps you could write to DuPont and ask the same. I've never had marble, only granite. I hope this helps!

This product is not a cleaner...The company that restored my marble recommended that I buy it and use it about once a month...It is a polish based product which provides a nice, clean luster to you marble and protects it as well...you can find marble cleaners in Lowes or HD that are appropriate from a ph standpoint that won't harm marble. I usually clean the marble first then apply this polish.

I've never used it on marble, but with the cleaning qualities I can't imagine the cleaner damaging the marble. If you would like to try it, get a section that is not noticeable and use a little bit. Wish I could help more.

The folks at Rust-Oleum are pretty clear about using this product only on laminate countertops. You may need a master mason to help you restore an existing marble countertop. Good luck.jblofstein

I think it will depend on if there is a finish on the marble. Can you try a small corner that's not very visible? This product is amazing on granite.

I have a marble counter top and its works perfect! I can not speak for other style of counter tops.

The pads would absolutely work on marble. I expect you could obtain a glassy finish if the marble is good.The densifier is for concrete, and it helps to harden it and fill voids so that you can obtain that high polish without removing too much material.There are two components. Each needs to be mixed according to the enclosed instructions. Application is by knife and brush.
