Default removing stains from new sink

Hello all,

I have a beautiful new Pegasus composite sink (80% granite) that has
unfortunately been used for the last month as a "utility sink" (my
fault) for cleaning paint rollers and brushes. Some of the rollers and
brushes sat in the bottom long enough to leave dried latex paint in the
bottom. The larger blobs of paint have come off with very little
effort but there are some "thinner" stains that appear to have gotten
into the pores of the sink (thought this was nonporous?). I have had
SOME success scrubbing with a scotch-brite type of cleaning pad and
some baking soda as recommended by one website. However the stains
have not completely come off yet. Is this a case where more
elbow-grease is required and they'll come off with time and more
effort, or will scrubbing harder damage the sink? I've read various
pieces of information that lead me to believe I should be careful how I
scrub this sink and not to use abrasive cleaners or steel wool.

Pegasus does not have a website that I've been able to locate anywhere,
so I thought I'd ask here.

Thanks in advance,
Soon-to-be-named-mud (if I can't figure out how to get this clean)
