Granite polishing is the process of enhancing the surface of granite to achieve a smooth, shiny finish. This is typically done using specialized tools and polishing compounds that gradually refine the stone's surface. The process not only improves the appearance of the granite but also helps protect it from stains and damage. The polishing process usually involves several steps, starting with coarse grinding to remove imperfections, followed by finer grits to achieve the desired shine. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and resealing, can help preserve the polished finish of granite countertops and other surfaces over time.
