Need advice on granite issue

Laurie Baker

We recently had a dark colored, polished granite installed in our kitchen. Near the seam, there was some blotchiness that needed to be corrected. The installer came out to "buff" or "polish" and now it is even worse! There is a good-sized area that looks like someone smeared a thin layer of toothpaste and never quite wiped it off. The installer came back two more times to try polishing again, but no real improvement. It always looks better (but not great) for a few days, then after cleaning, it looks very bad again. I tried scrubbing with acetone in a small section, but that did nothing. The rest of the granite looks shiny. This looks dull and, as I said, like it has a very thin layer of toothpaste. You cannot see a reflection in this area like you can everywhere else. I'm done with this installer. Obviously, he cannot fix what he messed up. I'd really rather not go through having the kitchen torn up again, so I am hoping that there is a way to repair this.
