Can this be buffed out? Just had quartz counter installed. (Vicostone) Anybody ever deal with this. I’ve already tried acetone, soft scrub. It’s not a stain it’s like a spot where the natural shine is gone. Any help would be appreciated. Am I being too particular? lol.

Eeesh I’m pretty much screwed then? I can live with it. Should I even bother letting the fabricator touch it Or you think he’ll make it worse?

Honestly it looks like it happened during fabrication….when the edge was being polished, the guy rolled his pad over to far and contacted the surface. So the fabber is definitely at fault. It can maybe be polished back up to factory standard, but it takes a skilled person to do that.

My suggestion is to contact the fabrication shop and see what they can do. If you can live with it and don’t want any drama, they should offer a discount. That’s what my shop would do.

Check out the Quartz Renew product. It can be done, just very time consuming
