Granite Polishing Tips:
 
Instead of isopropyl-water solution, you can also make use of baking soda-water solution, for making the granite surface shine. For the purpose, add ¼ cup baking soda to 3 cups warm water. Apply the solution to the granite surface and rub over the stains and deposits, with the help of a sponge. Thereafter, wipe off the excess liquid and buff.
Always wear gloves on your hands while cleaning granite surface, especially while using commercial cleaning products.
Polish the granite surface with commercial polish at least once a month and with the sealant atleast twice a year.
Never ever buy a polish that has acidic ingredients like lemon and vinegar in it. Such a polish can leave permanent marking on the granite surface.

While the baking soda poultice will remove some stains, using a polish once a month and sealing twice a year sounds like your stone doesn't have its own gloss and your sealer is mediocre at best.
This info is covered elsewhere in this forum and with better and less ambiguous information.
