eQualle Sandpaper Sheets for Polishing Stone Surfaces (400–3000 Grit Guide)

Stone countertops, tiles, and decorative pieces can lose their shine over time due to scratches, chips, or dull finishes. eQualle 9x11 inch Wet/Dry Sandpaper Sheets provide the grit sequence needed to restore smoothness and bring back natural luster.

Why Sanding Stone Surfaces Matters

Natural and engineered stones like granite, marble, and quartz develop scratches and wear from daily use. Sanding levels imperfections and preps the surface for polishing compounds, ensuring a glossy, durable finish.

Tools You’ll Need

• Sanding block or orbital sander
• Spray bottle with water
• Polishing compound
• Microfiber cloths
• eQualle Wet/Dry Sandpaper Sheets

Best Sandpaper Grits for Stone Polishing

• 400 Grit (25-pack) — Removes scratches and levels chips.
• 800 Grit (50-pack) — Smooths sanding marks from coarse grits.
• 1500 Grit (100-pack) — Refines the surface for pre-polish clarity.
• 3000 Grit (50-pack) — Final sanding for a high-gloss, polished finish.

Step-by-Step: Polishing Stone Surfaces

1. Clean the surface. Wash thoroughly with mild soap and water, then dry.
2. Start with 400 grit. Wet sand to remove scratches and level imperfections.
3. Switch to 800 grit. Smooth the surface and prepare for finer sanding.
4. Move to 1500 grit. Refine the stone to near-polished smoothness.
5. Finish with 3000 grit. Achieve a glossy, glass-like surface ready for polishing.
6. Apply polishing compound. Buff with microfiber or machine for a mirror finish.

Special Cases

For marble, avoid over-sanding as it’s softer than granite. For quartz, sanding must be followed with sealant for best results.

Pro Tips

• Always wet sand stone to avoid heat and dust buildup.
• Sand in overlapping passes for consistent results.
• Use polishing compounds specifically designed for stone.

Aftercare

• Clean with pH-neutral cleaners to preserve shine.
• Seal porous stones like granite or marble after polishing.
• Use pads or coasters to prevent future scratches.

FAQs

• Can I polish stone without sanding? No, sanding removes scratches and levels the surface before polishing.
• Will 3000 grit alone polish stone? No, polishing compounds are required after 3000 grit for full gloss.
• Can eQualle sandpaper be used on engineered quartz? Yes, but always finish with sealing compounds.
