What do you use to polish your solid-surface countertop?
Posted By: Rad MT on 2007-07-22

We have a Corian-type (manmade, not granite or quartz) countertop and we have tried just about everything, including what the manufacturer recommends and even car polish. Our house is only a little over a year old, but the countertops are already starting to look a little scratched and dull.
I love the color - it is a deep brick red - but if I had it to do over again, I would get a lighter color. This dark color shows every little scratch.
Any suggestions?

What’s Lurking in Your Countertop?
Granite Counters Are Bad Bad BAD!

I agree, at least on the surface
it is a very strange story, us apologizing for the Chinese sending us poisoned toys. Obviously they would have been recalled no matter how good the design was.
Low quality standards just drive me nuts.

Wow! (or should I say -
'meow'!
You sound like you have a solid financial
head on your shoulders. Your little one is lucky to have you. I don't wish ill on anyone and hope I didn't come across as sounding as though single parents don't deserve the EIC. They certainly do. Public assistance is another story though and that's why I distinguished between the 2 in my statement. Too many get it that shouldn't.
It's not stressful to have the savings; for me, it's stressful getting it in there. We also do a lot of pre-tax savings, but I still like a refund. Thanks for the well wishes. We're hoping to start rebuilding this month. Houses cost a lot more now to build than they did 10 years ago and we've got 2 kids more than we had then, too. 
I live in Michigan and we just had 3 days of solid rain and $4.19/gal for gas. sm
We got the leftovers from Ike. Our gas is still $4.19 a gallon. We did not have the power outages that KY, IL, etc had, but we did have 3-4 tornadoes touch down near the MI/IN border. We have a lot of dams that are in danger of being breached and our whole side of the state is in a flash flood watch until Thursday. They figure most rivers will crest near the border by Thursday.
I'm waiting for a quote from Tom Cruise to surface, being he's the expert on EVERYTHING. nm

Might try coconut oil from the health food store. It's solid at room temp., so you can rub it in

Agree...and the gang mentality thing is often quick to surface when challenged. Ignore these

It's my DH who is looking for a better polish LOL nm

My sister-in-law and I walk together several times a week. We don't walk on a flat surface
we walk around a park that is constantly up and down so we get a better work-out and it is much more enjoyable to have someone to walk with. I have also joined Curves and really enjoy that.
My hubby is Ukranian and Polish, sm
We live in the south, so we stocked up when we went up north to home. The Kizka was an aquired taste, but now I love it.

Clear fingernail polish
I have never done this myself just thought of it when reading your post. Maybe try coating the keys with clear finger nail polish once a month.
did ya try acetone or nail polish remover?..nm

This post is where the fingernail polish is mentioned
being used by a man turned into wearing nail polish? I am sure you weren't trying to be rude, Jen, but is this or is this not your post? I don't even know why I'm posting in this thread because I truly think it is ridiculous to assume because a man uses "smelly goods" that he's gay or a cheater no matter how old he is. There are a lot of men in this world and depending on how you grew up or where you grew up could make a difference in the way you present yourself. That is not to say that a more rugged man is less of a man than a more "salon-type" guy, but let's face it there are guys out there that act feminine and are not gay. I happen to know a very nice guy, grew up with him. He's a hairstylist, a very good one, and has a wife and a daughter that he loves dearly. I'm pretty sure he's not gay. I also think it is funny that the first responses to this OP was "get rid of him", or "he's up to something", both posted by divorcees I might add. I think I'm done now. 
Polish? (I am and remember Granny making that)

Couldn't get to a store but used fingernail polish sm
and a lot came off. I'm going to do a second dose tonight after work. Have a big day of training for a business tomorrow and would rather not have all this ink on my hands. I won't be able to get to a store until after the training tomorrow.
Thanks everyone!!
How about regular old-fashioned wax furniture polish? sm
Beware, Kitty might skid on that towel and dig in with her claws to steady herself.
It's very nice of you to be kitty sitting!
Anyone know of a trick to get dark nail polish off a light rug? Help!

I use finger nail polish remover. It stinks though.

I'm wondering if maybe paste shoe polish with a layer
s
I agree with the nail polish remover, just make sure sm
you have the type with acetone in it. The acetone-free stuff won't work. My son got super glue-a big, think chunk-on his eyeglasses and nail polish remover got it off.
Acetone is nail polish remover, already said that earlier

Anyone know a good way to remove nail polish from carpet? - sm
My daughter spilled nail polish on the carpet in her room, so now I have a long line of pink nail polish on the carpet. Tried with nail polish remover, but not much help. Any ideas? Thanks.
Simichrome metal polish is one, but I forget what result you need. Rubbing it
