My wife and I are really pleased with a granite countertop that we
purchased at Home Depot, and have always been aware of the relatively
higher maintenance granite requires. We're at the 1 year point and so
far so good: no chips, stains, or disaster stories!

I bought a water-based sealer from Aqua-Mix. After applying the stuff
to a "test area", the color of the granite remained preserved, but the
glossy "sheen" was gone. A couple of newbie questions:

-- Did the sealer permanently get rid of the glossy surface?
-- Will a polish restore it?

I'm trying to maintain granite the "right way", but I'm most interested
in preserving its shine. Thanks for everyone's time
