Silestone is made from quartz and metallic materials, and is classified as a polished agglomerate. Any countertop polish that is formulated for polished agglomerates is fair game for your Silestone countertop.

Things You Will Need

  • Countertop cleaner
  • Countertop polish
  • Dry cloth rags
  1. Clean the Silestone countertop surface with your regular household cleaner and allow it to dry.

  2. Shake the bottle of countertop polish well before applying it to the Silestone countertop.

  3. Apply the polishing compound to the Silestone countertop surface with a dry cloth using circular motions. Allow the polishing compound to dry to a dull, hazy film.

  4. Remove the dry polishing compound by buffing it with another dry cloth. Use circular motions again during this process. If a hazy film remains on the surface of the Silestone countertop, clean the countertop off again with your usual cleaning spray.
