Menzerna Polishing Compounds of Germany has set new standards for workability, uniformity, performance, and quality. Why else would Mercedes Benz use Menzerna polishes to perfect the finishes on their brand new vehicles?

Detail Kitchen Counter Tops

Detail of Granite Kitchen Counter Tops and Granite on Kitchen Walls

Counter Tops - 3 Coats of Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant

Walls and Cabinet End - 2 Costs Wolfgang Deep Gloos Paint Sealant

Done over 48 Hours.

My wife always has something to say about how much time I spend detailing my cars so I thought I would do a little work in her kitchen.

The guy that put in our counter tops used the PC to do finial polishing on them. You can use a little compound and foam pad just like on the car surface.

I have done a lot of store work including the kitchen in the pictures. Compound will work ok on softer stone like marble but does not do much on harder stone like granite. For stone I use a wet polisher. It is a rotary with a water hookup. You hook a hose up to it and adjust the water to cool off the store. It takes 4" pads with a hole in the center. The water comes out through the hole in the pad. The pads are plastic with small diamond chips in them. They velcro on just like a normal rotary or PC pad. I have pad in grits form 60 to 8500. The following is a picture of it:

Gary why do you have so many mirrors in your kitchen

So could you use the PC for this type of work. My wife looked at what you did and she give's me an elbow as a hint thanks Gary

You did a great job well done

Your kichen costs more than my house! So did you use the water polishing gizmo, or the PC, or by hand with the Wolfgang on the counters?
