I bought both items from Amazon:
Granite & Marble Chip & Nick Repair Kit-Clear LCA
It looks like a cheap little kit with a dorky light on a ring..but it worked great. I used the light in place for seven minutes to cure the little repair. Read the reviews. My chips were not huge...It was tricky to get the right amount of product on and then I cut two small pieces of the clear plastic provided on the top and side to mold it to the edge of the counter. Because my Antartide is very soft I made sure to try to sand only the area I fixed. I did have to sand little on the unaffected counter but it's unnoticeable because it's on the edges of the counter. I highly recommend this as you can't even see the chips anymore.
The second product that I used on the etchings is:
Marble Gloss Restorer (4 Oz)- By Marble Granite Care Products. It's $17.95
Read the reviews. Some people used an electric buffer and some used elbow grease and a soft cloth. I didn't...I used a kitchen sponge that has the scruffy side on one side a a sponge on the other. I dampened the sponge first and the put a tiny amount of this sand like product on the very tip and pressed hard in circles using the scruffy side. I did this less than a minute and then wiped it off with a damp paper towel and then buffed it with a dry one to check on the progress. It really took two minutes for each area. There was a little bit of dishwashing soap on the sponge which made it glide better. It's amazing because the rings are gone and the sheen is the same as the rest of the surface. My counter isn't a very high sheen counter because of all the crystals so I think this worked great because it made it blend in to the surface of this stone. It looks from the side just like all the splotches of crystals that don't have a sheen. From the top after the repair its just as shiny as the rest of the counter. It's amazing. I did notice that the first spot I tried I left it on the spot and it looked like it etched so I strarted scrubbing with the dobie pad and the spot disappeared. I took a gamble but I'm so glad I tried it. With the chips and etching gone I feel like it looks so nice now. I wonder if it's not the stone that etched but the sealer that's applied. I haven't sealed mine since it was installed over two years ago so wonder if it just removed some of the sealer. I'm going to reapply a sealer In a few weeks just in case removing the rings will make the area vulnerable to stains. My counter never stained to this point even without reapplying a sealer...so I will reapply one in the next two weeks. I really think the resin that was applied at the quarry is what keeps it stain free.
Knewhart, my son did my bathroom and the color looks beautiful. I did it at 50% because I love that color. It looks just like my bedroom color even though there's a new formula. My sitting room between the rooms breaks up the color because I have that painted BM Linen White. I put up some bird prints in the bathroom that I found at Homegoods. It looks great...very spa like.. I LOVE birds and have them all over the house! Lol
