    Came across this video after having black leathered granite installed and seemingly improperly sealed. Knowing I needed something to properly seal my countertops, and being really impressed with John’s knowledge and technique, I went to the website to purchase. There are a lot of products on John’s website and I was a little confused as to what to get. I called the number on the site and John actually answered. He answered my questions and told me what to buy. I ordered and got it in a few days. Just did the seal this morning and followed the process on the video. Everything went according to plan. Whether it will last 3 years is unclear, but the products were great, the process was easy, and the customer service was really great.

    I did not watch this for the professionalism of the filming, I can figure out how he is doing things. I think it is fantastic that he is willing to share tips that others would keep to themselves in order that you pay them to do what he is most graciously teaching us to do. As for Wolfie, bully for him, he is telling us he is there and would probably like to be seen in this film. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Should be more experts like you.

I thought we might have to replace the counter tops or have the professionally resurfaced. These products made it look Brand New!!!! So thrilled! Thank you!

    Received my kit a week or so ago. Finished doing our granite counter tops (83 sq ft) five minutes ago. Took me a good couple of hours plus the time getting all the objects moved off them first. I did it exactly like John did in this video. Worked great! Thanks, John!

    Great news to share -- I bought your stone cleaning kit to clean granite countertops (in a rental) back in 2021. Fortunately, I saved the remaining product and used it today to clean & seal the granite countertops in my own kitchen. Wow! After I used the blue spray (the cleaner) they shined like new. Then, after I used the sealer, they continued to shine. They countertops were installed in 2000, and we've been lucky that there were no stains to contend with. But they had gotten dull and tired looking. I am DE-LIGHTED with how they look!!! And yes, it was easy to do -- I just followed your video, being serenaded by Wolfie, your parrot! 🦜

    Thank you for the helpful tutorial. We recently purchased a home with a granite vanity top that has darkening/staining around one of the sinks. It makes sense it would be dark water staining, but unsure. Is this product effective with dark stains on beige/brown granite, or do these types of stains require a heavier professional tool?

    Our granite was a poorer quality of granite installed prior to our buying the house. It always feels like there are crumbs on it no matter how well we clean and/or Razor scrape it. Will this process help with any of that or is it useless with this lower quality granite?

    Hi I watched your video and I was really impressed .the issue I have is I use a brand called (pink stuff 🥵) It says on there you can use it on marble granite any kind of stone and that it was safe because I was trying to get sticky residue marks that the contractor left behind. So it damaged my brand new bathroom vanity top which is black granite and we also installed black marble flooring so I used the pink stuff Big mistake it made the granite dull and the marble flooring dull as well so i’m scared to use anything I don’t want to damage more than I have so my question is since I have granite and I have black marble as well do I have to use two different kinds of products and I also have white marble in my kitchen that I want to resurface so my question is is really about the black granite and the black marble Do you have a product that you can use for both because this can get very expensive hope to hear from you because I really want to get my project done thank you I wish I could show you but I don’t know how to send it

    Do you have any over head views of the counter top before and after to see how it brings the stains out? Thank you. I'm highly interested.
    We have granite in our bathrooms and soaps,water stains and such have left major dark spots embedded into the counter. I hope this product will help to remove that.
    I saw someone use a lacquer thinner or some strong chemical that you place just on those spots, cover it for 48hrs and then clean from there. I don't really want to use such a hard chemical and I wouldn't be able to use our sinks in the process.
    Thanks for any info.

    Two things...I'm guessing that the counter should be done in sections since I don't recall hearing about it in the video. I've been holding onto the kit for two months now and haven't heard anything bad about the product. Second, my backsplash is of a non-shiny porous stone, unlike the countertop. It looks like it's never been treated. Should I do this with the counter?

    Hello all. I just applied the scrub and Ultimate Pro sealer to my granite countertops. Process all went well and really quite easy. I followed the video and product directions to a tee. There is no visible difference to my granite's finish. The Stone Pro Ultimate Pro sealer did not fill the natural micro crevices of the granite which I expected. Honestly my granite already looked okay... but I was hoping these products would take it to stunning! That didn't happen.

    • @ncstonefab1
      @ncstonefab1 5 років тому

      If you used acetone that means you might have removed some of the sealer. But I wouldn't worry about it because dark stones are denser than lighter ones and don't need to be sealed as often. I would get a sealer and seal it though. My favorite one is Lustro Italiano, very easy to apply, I like to use paper towels instead of clothes. If you see the haze or it feels sticky just get the paper towel with the sealer and go over it, right after that go over it with a dry paper towel to remove the excess. Do this until it's smooth and shiny. Btw, never use steel wool, only fabricators use that and on very rare occasions.

    How do I remove oil/grease stains from my granite before I seal it? I was mistakenly told by the contractor that the granite was already sealed; however, I quickly found out it actually wasn't a few weeks of use after moving in. Around the edges of our island where we eat at the barstools, the granite is darker now and also all around our gas cooktop the granite is now darker from I assume grease. I have a knife block next to my cooktop and if you move it you can see the color the qranite is supposed to be and how much darker it is now. Just for more info I have granite that has colors of black, greys, whites, silvers, etc. Please help! I plan on buying the kit, but need to know what to do about the stains first. Thanks!

    WTH is that Screeching noise in the background? Holy cow that is LOUD.
    Tip next time video where we can see the countertop and what you're doing. We can't really judge what the product should look like, heaviness or thickness of the products. Having your back to us is blocking a lot of the view. Maybe next time video it from the end of the counter and you on the side. Just a pro tip on filming. Should of reshot the parts with Wolfie not in the video for sound. Highly unprofessional! Talk about a headache.

      I liked Wolfie! Who cares if it is professionally done, it is easy to learn from and very useful.

      @@cedarpope I like him too. I just think that of we could SEE what he was doing. To KNOW how much product etc to use and what it should look like, makes more sense.
