Corian Countertop Repair
Does anyone have a good product to sand a lightly scratched corian countertop? Dupont only gives general guidelines. The scratches are from normal use.
Thanks

You can get a corian repair kit from Dupont for your counter top. It should have the different grit sand paper and instruction in the kit.

From what I've read you simply use 600 grit sand paper, but personally I used very fine automotive buffing compound with great results, then actually waxed the area to get it to match the original glossy sheen.

What kind of WAX did you use ?
What type of buffing tool did you use ?
How much grit was the AUTOMOTIVE sanding paper ?
How long did the process take ?
Thank you,

I have used 600 grit paper and then did a final sand with wet 600 grit followed with automotive rubbing compound and a buffing machine. You could probably do it with a electric drill with a wool buffing pad.

Soft Scrub works really good for this, put some on a damp sponge or cloth rub over area using small circular motions, from the front to the back, then side to side, overlapping the circles until the entire area has been cleaned.

There are a lot of corian polishes and cleaners on the market.
Home depot and Lowe's are 2 places where u can get them.

Read posts 5 & 6, if you don't have scratches you can go straight to the buffing compound

I'd recommend hiring a professional. Your counters get many micro-scratches over time and the pros can buff all those out and bring your counters back to their original matte finish.
Depending on where you live, they can also apply a thin coat of armor to the top which protects it even more and makes the color a little richer and makes it a breeze to clean... similar to a coat of wax... but it's not wax.
Cost ranges $350-$495 for a normal kitchen.
