I use them on my drums, and bandmates guitars/basses.
I used McKee's 360 on my fiberglass shower, walls only. Shined it up nice but too soon to tell if it will last.
I tried using automotive compound on Corian and it is too hard for the automotive polishes to even make a dent in the swirls/scratches. It did put a nice shine on the Corian though. I would think the marble would be even harder than the Corian, but you could do a test spot.
We have Corian countertops that have severe light scratches all over. I was considering orbital sanding with maybe 1500 grit then maybe orange foam pad and some aggressive polish. Anyone think it might work?

m105 and m205 have been known to be used in woodworking as when you polish hand painted surfaces, its similar to a car
I’ve watched a couple videos on YouTube before. A lot of the similar techniques, but different pads per se. You can find a package for polishing them via a rotary for about $40 on Amazon. They come with diamond polishing pads and then it looks like you finish off with a scotchbrite type pad using a paste type polish.
Car polish products may work okay, but I’m sure it’s like trying to hand polish a hard clear coat. By the time you undergo all the work, it’s probably money ahead to buy the $40 kit.

You may want to start with 600 or less depending on scratches and work your way up. Very dusty - hook up a vacuum. Finish off with compound/polish depending on level of gloss. Matte finish can be obtained using a scotch brite pad (don't need to go through all the polishing steps).
I am a woodworker and guitar builder/repairman. I have used Meguiars polishes on my lacquer finishes for decades. I now have some 3" pneumatic polishers that I use with Abralon pads and M105. This works better for me than what most guitar builders use, which is large (16" dia. muslin buffing pads on a stationary arbor with Menzerna bar compounds). I never could get the dry wax bars to get a high gloss and get all the swirls out. M-105 is my solution to this problem. I am so happy with the automotive wet compounds, polishes and pads that I am now getting into buffing my cars. I just got a harbor freight buffer and some lake country pads, so I am getting tooled up.
