Does anybody know how to clean up a black “granite” sink?

My black “granite” sink doesn’t look nice shiny or black anymore. It seems to have like a “white” or coating look to it. I’ve tried some granite cleaners.

Hi Dee, this post addresses the white haze look. They're generally mineral deposits, it says to scrub gently with a non abrasive pad, clean with dishwashing detergent and then use mineral oil to revive the shine. Not sure if you've tried that already. You can peek at the link for details. https://homeguides.sfgate.com/white-haze-off-granite-sink-25784.html

It's actually more plastic than granite. Contact the manufacturer to get their recommendations. You don't want to damage it permanently.
Always used Mineral Oil on mine. Would put some in the sink, wipe with paper towel and then wipe it again until it looks awesome.
Clean your sink well, as usual. Dry well. Then just use a few drops of mineral or even vegetable oil and a soft cloth and your sink will look good as new!
Thank you I’ll try that
Thank you all. The mineral oil worked GREAT! My sink looks new again
You put oil on them. I use reg. Cooking oil.
