The rubbing compound was to fine to remove the scratch.

1. Remove scratch with fine sand paper (black silicon carbide "wet or dry"
works well). How fine? As fine as possible but coarse enough to remove
the
scratch without sanding forever.

2. Sand area with finer papers, working to #1000 or so as the final.

3. *Polish* with the rubbing compound (or other) to restore the sheen you
want.

However..... Keep in mind that cultured marble is a manmade product that
cosists
of a powered marble color base that is covered with a thin gelcoat. If you
sand
or otherwise bring the gelcoat down to the color, you will not be able to
restore the gloss finish.


I had outstanding results repairing my damaged cultured marble vanity using
a kit from this company in Iowa. They are experts in repairs to cultured
marble, acrylic, polycarbonate, and other such surfaces. They answer their
phone calls personally with exert advice and their kits are very reasonably
priced. My entire bathroom is filled with cultured marble panels on all
walls, tub area, counter tops, and around windows and doors including
cultured marble window sills, so I have a lot to take care of. This was
installed in the mid 1970s and looks absolutely brand new as a result of
these superb finishing / repair products:

I have no connection to this company other than the fact that I bought and
used their products with great success and satisfaction.
