Well I could give him a fish or I could give him a fishing rod. I did the
latter.

You gave up too early. Sanding instructions are on that page.

Art, maybe he wanted you to cut and paste the instructions for him???

Removing Minor Cuts and Scratches*
Because the solid beauty of Corian® goes all the way through, Corian®
surfaces are completely renewable. You can remove minor cuts and scratches
yourself by following these instructions.

Judge the severity of the scratch and start with the finest grit sanding
pad to remove the scratch. (The color of the pads from roughest to
smoothest a White, Yellow, Green, Peach, Lilac, Blue, Gray.) Rub over
scratch in a straight line to remove it. Periodically switch rubbing
direction 90°. Be sure all of the scratch is removed. If this first step
takes too long, try the next heavier grit sanding pad. To minimize dust
during sanding, wet the surface. Rinse pad periodically to clean residue.

Clean top with water. Select next lighter grit and repeat process. Rub
over a larger area to blend in sanding.

Continue process using successively finer grits until desired gloss level
is achieved. Rinse out all pads used and air dry before putting them away.

I found that, it still has nothing about repair. It is strictly care and
maintenence. This is the page that says not to put hot pots on the
counter I referred to.

Did you even look at your lame link to find out it has no information
about repair. Closest it comes to answering the OP question is to say
not to put hot pots on the surface. I think he already knows that.

The general wisdom on countertops is that once you buy all the
required abrasives and power buffer needed to remove the defect and
then polish the surface, you will have spent as much as a pro and have
lots of leftovers. Then there is the issue of skill, do you think you
can make it look good the first and only time you will do it. Corian
also has the option of color matched fillers if required, you'll never
get that in the retail world.

If it is a real shallow burn, you might try some rubbing compound but
even this might dull the finish.
