Reviving a Luxury Kitchen Quartz Composite Countertop

The Challenge

The quartz composite countertop had developed a noticeable red wine stain and several knife scratches, detracting from its luxurious appearance.

   Use a polishing pad with Lithofin Wexa to buff the scratched areas, applying light pressure until the surface is smooth and shiny.
   Duration: 1 day
3. Phase 3: Sealing
   Products: Lithofin MN Stain-Stop
   Once the surface is restored, apply Lithofin MN Stain-Stop evenly with a cloth, ensuring full coverage. Allow to dry for 24 hours.
