The cultured marble vanity acme in my bathroom appears dull and lifeless. What can I do to revive and restore the smoothen? -Thelma

Cultured marble is made of a mixture of polyester resin, limestone dust, fillers, and pigments with a articulate gel glaze stop on top. While you tin't remove deep scratches that become all the style through the gel coat, information technology is possible to restore the surface and polish using extremely fine sandpaper and polishing compounds.

Automotive compounds are mildly annoying materials that are used to smooth and remove blemishes from cultured marble, fiberglass, paint, or articulate finishes. They're available at auto supply stores as rubbing (red, more abrasive) and polishing (white, less abrasive) compounds.

Automotive compounds can be practical to the surface past hand with a soft, cotton cloth, or by using felt or wool pads on a ability buffer, which requires much less physical try.

If the cultured marble surface is merely a scrap ho-hum, try buffing it first with polishing chemical compound, following the instructions on the can. If polishing compound doesn't do the flim-flam, buff with rubbing chemical compound, followed by polishing compound to remove whatsoever scratches left by the rubbing compound.

If the cultured marble surface still isn't smooth and shiny, try wet sanding with ane,000-grit wet/dry sandpaper (besides available at auto supply stores), followed past buffing with rubbing and polishing compounds to remove any scratches from the sandpaper.

Wipe off any residual from the compound with a make clean, soft cloth, then wash and dry the top with water.

Cleaning and polishing products that are specifically designed for cultured marble, such equally Gel-Gloss Marble Polish, are also bachelor.

Practiced luck with your project,
