    On the counter top you can use a razor blade but I don't know what your tiles are made of so let me know about that. You may need to buff the granite with automotive buffing compound to get it to shine like new. I should mention that the installer is normally responsible for this fix and if it can't be fixed to your liking he eats the cost. You probably knew this but thought I'd mention it.

    Buffing is the best way to go to get a shine. When you are done you can apply a sealer for granite but it's the buffing that creates the shine.
