How do I get rid of the streaks on black kitchen granite counter-tops? Have used the manufacture's suggested cleaner, have buffed and polished till arms wanted to drop off... any ideas?

HSN sells a product PINKCREDIBLE high definition glass and surface cleaner. It is amazing on granite(and everything else). Just spray and wipe. You'll be hooked

Try a 50/50 mixture of white and water or a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water.

Don't ever use vinegar...that could have caused the streaks in the first place! http://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/2012/06/diy-homemade-granite-cleaner.html http://www.wikihow.com/Clean-Granite-Countertopshttp://www.howtocleanthings.com/surfaces/how-to-clean-granite/

I've used windex (original formula) on my black granite counters for 3 years and it seems to be fine.

Method Granite cleaner is safe and works wonderfully. Anything acidic like vinegar or Windex apparently can dissolve the sealer, giving it a dull or etched look eventually.

I think I have sealed it too much with the Granite Sealer,,, I was doing it apprx. every 2 weeks,,, I will try laying off that as well,, and having that sheet with all the does and don't is great as well, amazing how much you don't know about the materials in your home. Thanks a bunch everyone,,,, and have a great Remembrance Day, Huge, huge day in my family ... :)
