Polishing Stone Countertops with 3000 Grit Sandpaper Sheets

Stone countertops like granite, quartz, and marble add elegance to any home, but over time they can develop dull spots, etching, or fine scratches. Restoring their shine is possible with ultra-fine sanding. eQualle 3000 grit wet or dry sandpaper sheets (9x11 in) are ideal for polishing stone surfaces before sealing.

Why 3000 Grit for Countertops?

3000 grit is an ultra-fine abrasive that smooths stone surfaces and removes haze without scratching. It leaves a frosted finish that can be polished to a high-gloss shine, restoring the countertop’s original beauty.

Tools You’ll Need

• eQualle 3000 Grit Sandpaper sheets (9x11 in, Wet or Dry)
• Water spray bottle or bucket with mild soap
• Sanding block or soft pad
• Microfiber cloths
• Stone polish and sealer

Step-by-Step: Polishing Stone Countertops

1. Clean the surface. Wipe down the countertop to remove dust, grease, and residue.
2. Wet sand with 3000 grit. Use 3000 grit (25-pack) sheets soaked in water, sanding in circular motions.
3. Keep it wet. Spray water frequently to reduce friction and prevent heat buildup.
4. Check smoothness. Wipe dry—the surface should look evenly matte.
5. Polish and seal. Apply stone polish, then finish with a penetrating sealer for protection and long-lasting shine.

Special Cases

For deep scratches, start with 800–1500 grit before finishing with 3000. For softer stones like marble, use light pressure to avoid over-sanding.
