I have a customer that keeps getting water rings/etched rings on their super white quartzite island top. The first time it happened, I polished then out and sealed the top with DuPont Bulletproof. A month later, more rings that I need to polish out. Is there a better sealer out there for super white quartzite? How could city water etch the surface?
Looking back, fifty years from now, don't you want to say you had the guts to get in the car!!

Re: super white quartzite
I have always felt this stone is classified wrong. This stone is closer to a marble then anything else.
I don't think there is much to be done about the etching in terms of using a sealer. I could be wrong, others may have comment. I think the best practice is to treat in like a marble in terms of daily care, avoid standing water and the like.

Re: super white quartzite
Super White is better classified as a dolomitic marble. It will etch and scratch just like marble. No sealer will stop this from occurring.

Re: super white quartzite
It is a marble. Brush it or hone it. Less problems. Although if your custy is cool with letting it develop a patina they will like it better in the long run. It is an awesome stone

Re: super white quartzite
You could buy some tenax etch remover and give it to them . Show them how to use it .
It's pretty quick and easy to get rings out .
