Polishing Corian Counter Tops


So the other day I was in the kitchen getting a snack and I noticed how neglected our 4 year old Corian counter tops were becomming. Well... Meguiar's to the rescue.




I started out with fine cut cleaner on a cutting pad, which cut down some of the slight scratches and a few rough areas. The DACP did the most, it made it glossy again. I followed it up with a coat of #26 using my PC just for added shine. Now the counter tops look brand new again!

They look real good, it will be interesting to see how it holds up. You know I was thinking about using some NXT on my bathroom counter top its not Corian but it use to shine like what you have pictured Looks like I might give it a try seeing you had good results! It seems there is always another use for meguiars products.

There needs to be some type of Award for things like this...

Then perhaps some therapy

Haha Mike. I was actually planning on doing an "Extreme Counter top Makeover" post but the pictures really didn't come out right for it.

Still, they say you can even sand and buff corian too, I might try that next time.

Great job Rick! The countertops look EXCELLENT!

Looks great!!

Now that the kitchen is done, time to move onto the fiberglass shower surround!! The rotary with #83 DACP works really well there as well!!

I'm known as the man that washes his car all the time!

I guess they think we're supposed to drive dirty cars?

My wife has been complaining about our 10 year old corian for years. Too dull she says. I want granite she says. Rick, not only can I now justify buying a PC, but you may have saved me THOUSANDS! (OK Mike, where's that PC special?)

I mistakenly showed my wife this thread.
Looks like I have just given myself a new job in the kitchen

LOL, I thought about waxing our kitchen counters (ours were a horrid orange when we bought the house. Instead of replacing them, we painted them. Quick cheap way to go from orange to blue in one afternoon!). Now I don't feel so crazy, thanx!!

Well, actually corian's pretty hard, you'll probably need a rotary. I used the PC for the final waxing, but I don't know how much you could get done with just the pc. But... what you do is use that to justify the PC, then if it doesn't work if you don't have a rotary it justifies buying one of those too . And if your wife complains just remind her the cost of new counter tops.

LOOK THE LAST THING i AM DOING IS THE KITCHEN TOPS. You know when I get home this is the last thing I will show my fiance she already gives me enough grief about not cleaning her mini van ... Some of you have too much time on your hands ...

Hey Rick,

How's the counter holding up?
