Etch Remover Marble Polishing Compound 8 oz.

I am too embarrassed to explain how this happened, but a full jar of dill pickle relish fell and broke on my Travertine tile kitchen floor. This flooring came with the condo when I bought it and I’ve never really taken good care of the floor in the10 years that I’ve lived here. I’ve never resealed the Travertine and I’ve been using the wrong floor cleaner all along. Needless to say, after cleaning up all the relish and the glass shards, I was left with a fairly large stain on my floor. With low expectations, I bought this etch remover and read all the reviews. Realizing that to have any success, this would take a lot of elbow grease. So, taking the advice of some reviewers I bought a bag of small 2” buffing pads that I could attach to my drill. I worked on small areas at a time, and to my surprise the stain was disappearing. After a couple hours, the stain was nearly gone. I plan to give it another going over to completely eradicate every trace of the stain. I wish that I had thought to take pictures to show the remarkable difference that this etch remover made. I also learned during this process that I should be using a neutral pH floor cleaner.

damaged my marble more than it was before. would not suggest using this product. then i was told it could not be returned. BUYER BEWARE. I WILL NOW HAVE TO CONTACT A PROFESSIONAL COMPANY TO POLISH THE MARBLE DUE TO THE DAMAGE THIS PRODUCT LEFT. VERY UNHAPPY

Removed marble scratches caused by a wet saw - inadequate protection when cutting. Total effort was 30 min with strong pressure - reasonable given the scratch depth. Also used on a marble vanity to remove water stains that occurred prior to sealing - 5 minutes. Popsicle sticks a must to mix and extract from bottle.

My wife and I bought a used coffee table with a marble top. The marble top is 40” by 72” and had several rings from cups and various other spills on it that had created some pretty bad etch marks. Nonetheless, we bought it anyway because it suited our needs for our living room and we thought (hoped) that with a little work, we could remove all of the rings and etchings. The first thing we tried was a Simple Green product to polish the marble and try to remove the rings, but it did nothing to remove them. I then did some searching and found this product on Amazon and decided to give it a try. My first attempt was on one corner of the table using terrycloth and working in this product by hand. I worked one small 12”x12” corner for a good 30 minutes, until both hands and arms were too tired to do it anymore. I had used about 15% of the bottle for that one corner by the time I was done. I then cleaned it off with paper towels and water (3 times). When I was done, that corner looked better, but not perfect. We could still see some of the etchings that were there from before, but we could see improvement, too. Unfortunately, it was clear to me that trying to do this by hand for the entire table would be a pretty intense project to undertake. With that being said, I decided that doing it by hand was too difficult and researched various power tools (polishers) to see if I could find something suitable to make this work. Because of cost and probably just a one or two time use, I didn’t want to spend too much for a tool that I might never need or use ever again. I eventually settled on a hand held orbital buffer from the local Orange Hardware Store (you know the one). Its primary purpose was for buffing wax on a car, but I figured that since it could be fitted with terrycloth bonnets, that it just might work for my purposes, and it was significantly cheaper than a high speed polishing tool, too. Well, I used the entire bottle of this product on the rest of the table with that hand held buffer and after making quite a mess and cleaning up said mess off the table - the rest of the table did NOT look as good as the corner that I had done by hand. I could see overall improvement, but not nearly as good as the section I had done by hand. Now, with that being said, I do believe that this product works. However, with my table, the etchings were neglected for so long that they are in pretty deep and will require a lot more effort to remove than I might be capable of providing. But just because I wasn’t able to accomplish the goal, I could see that the product worked for minor etchings just fine. I think that for my table, I will need to bite the bullet and by a polisher (like the DEWALT DWP849X 7-Inch/9-Inch Variable Speed Polisher, also sold here on Amazon) that I think is more suited for a project of this scope. That polisher will help, with this product, to really get down deeper (and faster) to remove the etchings that have embedded themselves into the table over time. So, although I wasn’t successful with this product and my table, I don’t think it’s the products fault. I try very hard to be fair with my reviews and in this case, I think that the marble for my table just needs a lot more time and effort and the right tools with this product to truly make the product work for me. However, for minor etchings, this product would work just fine, I’m quite certain. I give the product 4/5 stars (I would have given it 5/5 stars if it had pulled off the miracle for my table).

I bought this product to remove surface marks from my marble vanity. While it improved some of the marks, it left many. I felt disappointed at not getting better results, even though I repeated the process on some areas as suggested. Using this compound is pretty messy, too, with lots of leftover polishing granules getting everywhere...
