- 1). Wipe the surface of the cultured marble with a sponge dampened with a pH-neutral cleaner to remove dirt and loose debris. Use a sponge dampened with clean water to rinse away the cleaner from the cultured marble surface. If you leave behind dirt and tiny, loose particles, they could grind their way farther into the surface, resulting in more scratches and damage.
- 2). Equip a high-speed hand-held buffer with 1,000-grit wet sandpaper. Use the water-dampened sponge to squeeze a small pool of water onto the surface of the cultured marble over the damaged area. Set the hand-held buffer into the small pool of water, and turn the machine on.
- 3). Apply light pressure to the hand-held buffer, allowing the 1,000-grit wet sandpaper pad to do most of the work. Sand the surface of the cultured marble until all scratches blend into the surrounding cultured marble. Move to the next area on the surface, and repeat the sanding process.
- 4). Rinse the sanding dust from the surface of the cultured marble with the water-dampened sponge. Remove all of the sanding dust with the sponge several times until the surface is free of particulates.
- 5). Attach a wool pad to the hand-held buffer machine, and buff the surface of the cultured marble. Examine the cultured marble surface from different angles to ensure you sanded out all the scratches.
- 6). Squeeze three to four drops of liquid polish onto a clean, soft cloth. Apply the liquid polish to the cultured marble surface in small, circular motions. Allow the polish to dry on the cultured marble.
- 7). Buff the polish off the cultured marble with a clean, soft cloth. To keep the surface of the cultured marble polished and shiny, repeat the polishing procedure one time per week.
