Lustro Italiano Etch Remover, 8 Ounce

I've used this product in the past to remove etching from my bathroom marble vanity countertop. It worked pretty well but I used a buffing machine because I had a large area to cover and many etch marks. It still took a lot of time and many many passes to remove the etching. Using a buffing tool makes removing the etching less tedious but it makes a big mess. The sandy paste flings all over the place. There was no way I could do all of this large area by hand and I didn't mind the cleanup. It took the majority of the etching out and left my countertop nice and shiny. Fast forward a few years, it was time to do this job again. Ugh, so much work! Given the success I had with this product in the past, I purchased it again. I got decent results but after buffing for an hour I still had areas that I wasn't satisfied with. Perhaps some of the new etching was a little deeper than last time. The countertop looked much better but I wanted it even better. I decided to try another product. The new product (a little more expensive) seemed much stronger and worked much faster with less passes. I got better results removing the deeper etching, however, this other product also left my countertop a little dull. So this is what I ended up doing with great success, after first using Lustro Italiano Etch Remover and getting most of the etching out, followed by another pass with a stronger etch remover to get the deeper etching removed, I then did a third pass with Lustro Italiano Etch Remover to get the shine back. Keep in mind, all of this was done with an electric buffing tool which made the job doable but much more messy. With the amount of etching I had, there was no way I could do this by hand. The mess was worth the results! I gave this product 5 stars because it really does work. My only beef with this product is that half of the container is filled with water which you are instructed to remove before using. So, you're actually getting a container 1/2 filled with product. The other product I used was all powder which you moisten yourself with a few drops of water.... thus, you're getting a full container of product. Both worked well but Lustro Italiano Etch Remover left a better shine in the end.

Last week, I tried cleaning my humidifier with vinegar and water mix in a spray bottle on my marble countertop, not knowing that it will etch it. It left white, hazy splash marks everywhere and a huge 3 x 8 inch spot at the front of my sink. I freaked out and tried using marble cleaner, dish soap, water and nothing worked. I started googling and found this product. I first tried the etch remover on the large spot. I had to use it 3 times and it did get some of it off but that took about 20 minutes and at this point my face is red and I'm sweating. This includes me wiping everything up to see if the stain was gone and cleaning up the mess on floor. This wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. My husband suggested using a car buffer. I placed a scoop on the stain and pressed down firmly to buff. I buffed it a few times. It took all of the vinegar stain out! The splashed vinegar marks were easier to get out with the buffer but the large area does take some work. The large vinegar stained area does have a very dry feel compared to the rest of the marble feeling polished. I'm hoping it will feel smooth again after I seal the countertop. Regardless, I'm happy to not have that large white hazy stain there anymore!! I bought a impregnator sealer to seal the marble and I'll try dealing it tonight. On one of the websites I found, it says to clean the marble top with a marble cleaner and let it dry overnight and then seal it, repeat every 6 months to a year. Before you start cleaning your marble with this etch remover, I would highly suggest having a roll of paper towel, protecting your cabinets, and have some rags on hand. It is a bit messy and because my stain was towards the front of the sink, some of the product would drip off onto my cabinets and I had to quickly wipe it up so that it doesn't damage it. I kept a rag in the sink and would use that to wipe the etch remover off to see the result. Another review suggested watching a YouTube video about the product use and I would recommend it too. I don't have pictures of the stain because I wasn't planning on writing such an extensive review on this product but after all the hard work and the mess and it taking the vinegar stain out, I figured I'd write a review to help someone out who is dealing with the same issue. The pic are after I got done using the etch remover and of the buffer I used. Will definitely keep this etch remover on hand!

My tenants left a lot of etching on my vanity counters. A lot were easily removed with a lot of elbow grease but the ones I assume were from cleaning bottles were unable to be removed.

Worked well on our marble countertop. Best to watch their video of how to use. After applying in the recommended amount, found it really paid to only do a small area at a time, because the product can leave some marks on other areas if left alone a while, but re-applying and rubbing it in can fix it. Some areas needed repeat applications but they said up to 30 mins of rubbing on some tough areas. End result was satisfactory.

Me encantó el producto, retiró la mancha de vinagre en el piso de mármol. La quito en un 80 a 90%. Busqué información de cómo retirar la mancha y el producto de venta en AMAZON. Comentó que es poco el producto, pero cumplió con la expectativa. Y claro que lo recomiendo.

Worked brilliantly on my marble flooring. Had a bottle of wine smash on the floor during our last house party and it ended leaving a huge etch mark on it. Used this product as instructed and while it took some time and effort, loved the end result and the etch marks are completely gone!

Had a patch of dull marble flooring and now I don’t. Extremely toxic so use gloves. It takes a bit of muscle power to rub and shine this on but it’s well worth it to fix damaged marble
