Etch Removing Kit<\/a><\/b>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The products and supplies in this kit<\/a> are designed to eliminate etch marks from most marble, limestone, travertine<\/b> and terrazzo<\/b>. Etch marks are acid burns created by acids such as lemon, vinegar, citric juices, acid base cleaners, etc. Etch marks remove the shine from polished stone surface. The Etch Kit<\/a> allows you to re-polish smaller etch marks such as glass rings or small spots.<\/p>\n

Please note that the contents of this kit are designed to work on small areas.<\/p>\n

Some etch marks may be too old or too deep to be removed using the Etch Removing Kit<\/a>. Should these etches not come out, International Stoneworks<\/a><\/b> can remove them with our professional polishing system.<\/p>\n
