Dear Larry:
It looks to me that “Michelangelo” struck again!...
L
“
he buffed out some of the dullness and waxed
”
What has wax got to do with stone polishing??...
“
told me that he could not go further because he was getting into the resin that was baked on at the factory
”
The resin is by the surface, not any deeper. And it does not get naked in by the factory: it cures chemically by itself.
“
that at that level there was nothing he could do.
”
Oh, by now I'm pretty convinced of that, too!...
L
However, if he would take a course on face-polishing granite, it may help a lot and he would not need to give you that crock of doo-doo like he did! He did not get lazy: it is just plain incompetent at face-polishing stone. Just the idea of pathetically trying to use a wax, speaks volume right there.
But he doesn't care to learn through proper training, there's something else that he could do (see, there are always solutions!...
J
):
1.
He can hire a real pro and send it over to your place to face-polish that seam.
2.
He can replace the entire countertop for you.
One thing is for sure, you do not have to keep that “masterpiece” for an extra minute!
I think that my comments automatically answered your questions.
And BTW, if you have two pieces of slab that don't match, that's it: no magic in a bottle of mastery from a pro could ever do the first thing about that.
Of course, if marblecleaning.org could have its ways, “Michelangelos” like that guy would not have much time left in the business. They actually would have never gotten into it in the first place.
May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at:

Ciao and good luck,
Mauri
