RE: Marble and Granite Countertop Sealers (Follow-Up #5)
posted by: cat_mom on 10.23.2007 at 10:32 pm in Kitchens Forum Kevin--I don't know where how to get the K.R. 33 except from my fabricators. I know they import it from Italy (according to them). It is made by (?) Industria Chimica General in Modena/Italy. http//www.generalchemical.it
email: mail@generalchemical.it On the can it says: Brightens, polishes, protects marbles and granite. It definitely shined up/polished the granite on the island, which was NOT as shiny/polished looking as the granite on the other counter spaces. I don't think it's supposed to last 5-7 years though, so I don't know how it would compare to the 511PP. I have to tell you, that I had posted on another thread a few months ago, about some whitish rings that appeared on our granite after placing a chilled wine bottle on it (different bottles, different occasions, and it happened with a beer bottle, too, I think). Some of our very helpful resident advisors here on GW suggested that our granite (Labrador Golden Flake) wouldn't need to be sealed, as it is a black granite, and that it was likely an excess of sealer that caused the rings to appear. I can't imagine not using it though, it really did a fantastic job of polishing up the stone, and I feel better knowing that it is protected against staining (however likely or unlikely that is to happen). Care to weigh in? NOTES: <none>

RE: Marble and Granite Countertop Sealers (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: cat_mom on 10.23.2007 at 09:24 am in Kitchens Forum KR 33. It's an Italian sealer/polish or restorer (I don't remember exactly what it says on the can); it's the only one our fabricator uses. It's a penetrating sealer and is very easy to apply. Our island granite for some reason, didn't look as polished or glossy as the rest of the granite in the kitchen after install. A few months later, after I'd gotten my own can of the stuff, I went over it with some of the KR 33. What a difference! It really brought out the shine or lustre of the stone.
