Granite Polish FAQs
How do you get granite to shine again?
Granite countertops lose their shine over time due to various factors such as improper cleaning and hard water deposits. To restore the shine to granite countertops professionally, it is recommended to use a high-quality granite polishing compound.
Professional products like our MB-20® Granite Polish can effectively rejuvenate the surface, providing a polished and lustrous finish.
Can you polish granite yourself?
It is doable but not recommended. For reliable and effective results it is advisable to use professional products specifically designed for this purpose. Utilizing a variable-speed polisher grinder with different grit polishing pads and applying a professional-grade granite polishing compound, such as MB-20®, can achieve superior results.
Will baking soda polish granite?
For professional-grade results, it is recommended to avoid relying on household remedies such as baking soda. Instead, opt for dedicated granite polishing compounds like MB-20® that are formulated specifically for polishing granite.
Using baking soda may not provide the desired level of effectiveness and longevity compared to professional products. Dedicated products also ensure a thorough and reliable restoration of shine without compromising the integrity of the granite surface.
- All powders are packed by weight and not by volume.
- Always conduct a small-scale test in an inconspicuous area before full-scale application.

How to Use MB-20 Granite Polish
Step 1: Inspect and Prepare the Surface
Remove dust, debris, sand, and contaminants from the stone surface. Any particles left behind can interfere with polishing and potentially create scratches during the process.
If necessary, mask adjacent surfaces that could be affected by polishing residue or splatter.
Step 2: Complete the Honing Process
Before applying MB-20, the stone should be honed to the highest clarity possible. The quality of the final polish depends heavily on the condition of the surface before polishing begins.
Step 3: Prepare Your Equipment
Attach a hog’s hair pad or white polishing pad to a variable-speed right-angle polisher or suitable polishing machine.
Variable-speed control is strongly recommended for achieving consistent results.
Step 4: Apply MB-20 to a Small Work Area
Work in sections of approximately 1–3 square feet. Apply a small amount of MB-20 to the surface and add a light mist of water.
Avoid overapplying the product, as excess material can create residue and increase cleanup time.
Step 5: Begin Polishing at Low Speed
Spread the compound evenly across the target area while running the machine at a low RPM and applying firm, controlled pressure.
The objective is to distribute the product evenly before increasing polishing speed.
Step 6: Work the Product from Wet to Dry
Continue polishing as the compound begins to dry. Gradually increase machine speed while reducing downward pressure.
As the polishing cream breaks down, it refines the stone surface and develops greater gloss and clarity.
Step 7: Finish at Higher Speed
Once the product is nearly dry and no splattering is occurring, increase machine speed and continue polishing until the desired gloss level is achieved.
Different stone types may require multiple passes or repeated applications.
Step 8: Evaluate the Results
Clean the area and inspect it under direct lighting. Compare the polished section to surrounding areas to determine whether additional polishing is required.
Step 9: Make Adjustments as Needed
If additional gloss is needed, lightly mist the pad with water and continue polishing using the remaining product embedded in the pad before adding more compound.
This often improves efficiency while reducing residue buildup.
Step 10: Repeat Across the Surface
Once the desired finish is achieved in the test area, repeat the same process across the remaining surface using the established technique, pressure, and machine speed.
A properly polished surface should exhibit improved gloss, enhanced color depth, and a clean, reflective appearance.
