What grit for solid surface countertop scratches?

Solid surface countertops can show scratches or dull repair spots after sanding.

Answer

For solid surface scratches, wet sand 400 if needed, then 600, 800, and 1000 while blending a wider area.

Why it happens
The repair needs a gradual grit sequence that matches the surrounding sheen.
Recommended grit
Use 400 for visible scratches, then 600, 800, and 1000 for smoother blending.
Wet or dry
Wet.
Success check
The repaired area blends with the surrounding sheen.

What to do

  1. Clean the countertop.
  2. Wet sand scratches with 400 only if needed.
  3. Refine with 600, 800, and 1000.
  4. Blend a larger area so the sheen matches.
Avoid: Do not sand one tiny spot only because it can leave a visible dull patch.
