Wet Polishing

A countertop finishing process that uses progressively finer abrasive pads with water to achieve a smooth, glossy surface on natural stone (granite, marble) and engineered quartz. Water serves as both a lubricant and coolant, preventing dust and heat damage. Wet polishing is performed during countertop fabrication and can produce finishes ranging from matte (honed) to high gloss depending on the grit progression used.
