Seal and Polish Granite and marble?

I am not sure, but I think I should polish my newly installed granite countertop, then seal it. Is this correct?





So after I seal it, can I still polish it like 6 months or 1 year later?

Seal and Polish Granite and marble?
Yes, and when you mean polish I suppose you mean that light dirty film left over after installation.





The supplier you purchased the granite from should recommend a cleaner/sealer to keep the stone maintained properly. A good cleaner will have protection properties which replenish the protection every time you use it. This ensures many years of non staining. A good product is Revitalizer by Stonetech.





The stone does need an intense sealer/impregnator initially and should have been done by the installer or fabricator. You can do it yourself if you follow the instructions carefully.
Reply:There is a special sealer and polish for marble ....Check it out.....
Reply:the newly installed granite should be polished before it was installed you should never have to polish it you could use an impregnating sealer on it depending on use every 6 month's should do it and check out the marble institute of America recommendations also
Reply:yes , you can... what is wrong with it and why do you need to polish it again? If it needs to be polished newly installed, you need to call the installer/ fabricator back and speak to him.Granite is a great material and should not be a high maintenance product.
Reply:All that's needed is a good, thorough cleaning before sealing.
