Corian refinishing
Have any of you refinished your Corian counter tops? How did they turn out? The process looks easy enough, just makes me nervous taking sandpaper to them. Thanks, Merry Christmas and safe travels

And that is fine for normal maintenance and for taking care of LIGHT marks on your counter top.
If you have a burn mark, or a deeper scratch, than sand paper, of various grades, is what it takes to get things back to "like new". I have used up to 20,000 grit sandpaper on the windshields of my airplanes to remove the fine scratches from debris in the air. ON a Corian counter top, you always start with as fine a grit as possible to remove the defect and then you use a few lighter grits until you get to the final polish stage. As one poster mentioned, you may want a semi-gloss appearance instead of a high gloss on your counter top. Remember the Corian is probably close to 1/2" thick so it can take a little sanding to remove a deep mark.
