Doctored Black Granite

Q.Our kitchen was designed around absolute black granite and I now discover that what was just installed has been doctored. I have read that the dye can be removed by using Methleyne Chloride or marble polish. Has this worked for others (and just revealed a lighter but stable color)? The installer is willing to replace the stone but after we looked at several distributors we find that there is no decent undoctered absolute black currently available. Is using a black quartz (Silestone, etc) now the best option for people looking for a solid black appearance? Any thoughts or suggestions on how to deal with our problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
A.Maurizio always talked about picking a fabricator as being the most important part of the stone adventure.
Its consumer fraud what has happened to you.
Please call me directly at 888-400-4302.
I am sure I can put you in touch with someone who has
black ab slabs that arent doctored.
