So I did the Proseal. Looks so much better. No water rings or sweat rings. It is 100% on stopping these regardless of how long a glass sits. The additional coverage against ketchup, wine etc is very little. Much happier though. You should not have to worry about sweating glass of water or coke. So l...

Especially Dan R. Thanks for the precise reply. It put me over the edge to getting it done. Thanks again..

So they came out today. Kept saying he didn't see the spots. Then he did but it was normal. We decided he woud tape off a square in the middle of the 9 foot piece and see what happened. Boom! 85% gone!! He did the entire kitchen with the buffer and a diamond dust mixture. The island is 95% better th...

Is this the consensus and can it be done on site? I thought I would feel etching. I don't but I think that is what it looks like. Again, the best comparison is water spotting on a glass shower. Lastly, Proseal next time??

Opinions.?

It is just as smooth but it looks really bad in the dark areas. It wasn't enough to worry about until the second time they sealed it. Seemed to be a lot worse or a lot more noticable. One small area they forgot to seal the second time isnt as bad. Seems crazy that it could be the sealer but the GQ w...

Best pics I could get. You can see it best where the light hits it

From the GQ website..... NOTE: This product may cause slight etching on polished surfaces such as marble, limestone, travertine, terrazzo and other calcium containing stone. mHmmmmmDan, can I text you some pics. Maybe you can tell. If it were black instead of white it would look like it were left ou...

I guess the Shadow Storm is really Brazilian Marble as others said. I put ketch up the cutting board and red wine. Both etched it. The wine was left overnight but the ketchup only an hour. I tried to take a pic but the overall surface pics you just can't see what I say looks like water spots on a ca...

I mean if you bend over and look down the surface with the light on it. Then you see it. The installer said the sealer does it. The GQ.

You can't feel the spots. It feels smooth. Just looks like millions of little water ring/spots like on a car that wasn't dried.

They resealed it. I had to force them to read the directions on the GC. They then let it set 15 minutes, added a little then wiped it off. It is quite a bit better. Let me ask this. Before the stone looked a little like a car does with water spots. After the second sealing it is worse. He said all s...

That helps. Should I consider water rings temporary then? I talked the stone company in to coming back tomorrow for a recoat. Stay tuned..

I read a side by side test of several sealers on here that said "Tenax Hydrex" was the ONLY one that didn't absorb the water at all, overnight. It seams that every now says use Proseal. Is their a consensus? And again, would you just put that over the GQ they did a pour on rub off with or make them ...

I am a little surprised. It has a lot of quartz specks glittering through out

For what it is woth I have a 24" wide island in my kitchen with a 12" overhang all around, no supports, Ubatuba. I also have a isnd in my kitchen same size same over hang in Bourduex.

Is the consenses to not ask them to apply a second coat of the GQ produc If so, do I need to remove or do any prep work??t but to do the Proseal instead, myself?

We just had this installed last week. I left a glass of water on it Saturday while I washed my car. 40 minutes. I came back to a pretty bad water ring. Scared me to death but it did go away in about a hour. My heart can't take this. Installer used GranQuartz impregnator. Poured on the wiped off. Is ...
