restoring cultured bathroom counter top and sink

[ccall]

Hi,
I have a 35 year old bathroom counter and sink (all one piece) and it looks very drab. I believe it is cultured marble.  It has stains, scratches, fingernail polish etc. on it.I saw the restore product you your site.  Would this be what I need to make my counter and sink look great again, and will it ever really look new.  I know new caulk would help tremendously also, as far as looks.

Also, will it be possible to get the sink area looking good.  There is also discoloration around the drain.

Thanks for your help.

First you have to sand it with 800 grit sandpaper. You can use our silicon carbide sanding discs with a 5" backer:

Then you take a muslin wheel and a polishing cake (white for light, black for dark) & buff it until you get the gloss you want.

Use the muslin wheel on a polisher or a variable speed grinder at a lower RPM (not to exceed 6,000 RPM). You spin the muslin wheel into the polishing cake to get some of the cake onto the wheel and then apply it to your cultured marble counter.

The sink may not be salvageable if it is in really bad condition. There is a gelcoat on top of the cultured marble, and if it is shot, well, you may have to replace this unit. If it is fixable this info should do the trick. I got it from an expert in that field!
