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

Stone and marble surfaces can lose their shine over time due to scratches, etching, or daily wear. With eQualle 9x11 inch Wet/Dry Sandpaper Sheets, you can restore countertops, tiles, and decorative stonework to a polished, mirror-like finish using the right grit sequence.

Why Sanding Stone Works

Sanding gradually removes surface scratches and dull layers from stone. By moving through progressively finer grits, you expose a fresh, smooth surface that can be polished to restore its original luster.

Tools You’ll Need

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

Best Sandpaper Grits for Stone & Marble

• 400 Grit (25-pack) — Removes surface scratches and etching.
• 800 Grit (50-pack) — Smooths stone after coarse sanding.
• 1500 Grit (100-pack) — Refines the surface for semi-gloss clarity.
• 3000 Grit (50-pack) — Final sanding for high-gloss mirror finish.

Step-by-Step: Polishing Stone & Marble

1. Clean the surface. Remove dust, grease, and debris before sanding.
2. Start with 400 grit. Wet sand to eliminate scratches and surface stains.
3. Switch to 800 grit. Smooth the surface evenly and reduce visible marks.
4. Move to 1500 grit. Continue wet sanding to refine the stone’s clarity.
5. Finish with 3000 grit. Ultra-fine sanding prepares the surface for polishing.
6. Polish. Apply stone polishing compound with a microfiber cloth for maximum shine.

Special Cases

For granite, start at 220 grit if the surface has deep scratches. For softer stones like limestone, begin at 800 grit to avoid over-sanding.

Pro Tips

• Always wet sand to reduce dust and prevent clogging.
• Sand in overlapping passes for even results.
• Apply sealer after polishing to protect against stains and water damage.

Aftercare

• Clean stone surfaces with pH-neutral cleaners only.
• Reapply stone sealer every 6–12 months for protection.
• Use coasters and mats to prevent scratches from heavy objects.

FAQs

• Can I polish marble countertops myself? Yes, with the right grit sequence and patience, DIY polishing is possible.
• Do I need to use polishing compound? Yes, it enhances clarity and shine after sanding.
