    AS THE COLOR OF CORIAN GOES ALL THE WAY THROUGH YOU CAN SAND IT WITH AN ORBITAL SANDER USING 400 GRIT PAPER.

    If you sand it, start with about 400 grit wet and dry sandpaper, then 600, then 1000, then 1500. That is what I used. Find the sand paper at big box stores, lowe's etc use plenty of water. You can use a random orbital sandpaper, but you will have to cut circles to fit. 5". Don't worry about the holes or easierway, use a sanding block and cut paper to fit that and elbow grease. I have done mine both ways and sanding block is easier. Remember water is the lubricant. Stop, dry it off to check your work. you can go in random pattern or straight line. The 1500 black sandpaper, will shine it really well, so don't give up or skip a step. You can use a little dawn soap if you want, makes it easier to sand.

      I also have gray corian and the high number grit is the way to go. Depending on how deep your scratches are you may have to start out with the lower numbers, but make sure you finish with a high number (1500). It will be like polishing your corian. I'd stick with elbow grease and avoid the powertools unless you really know how to use them.
