Etched Bathroom Marble Care

QUESTION:
I need advice on how to restore my marble. It has so many etchings, it's horrible! It's a brand new countertop. Please help!
ANSWER:
Many bath products are acidic and will etch marble. Not to worry though... most often etch marks can be repaired and the shine restored using a good marble polishing compound like
SCP- Marble Polishing Paste.
Unfortunately, it might be hard to find in Canada and we don't ship to Canada (yet) because of the expense and hassle of customs/duties.
We want to of course and are working on a solution, but for now I'd suggest calling your local stone warehouse or some local fabricators and get recommendations for a good marble polishing compound for etching.
Most products you see in the store that say "marble polish" are just topical dressings made to enhance a shine, but won't fix etching at all.

I highly recommend
