William on Sep 07, 2016I assume the countertop is solid surface or Corian. The toilet bowl cleaner actually ate through the clear coat and using the SOS pad, you actually rubbed through the clear coat. Refinishing or replacing the countertop is the only option. There are cleaners and polishers that will mask the dullness temporarily. Counter-Gloss Cleaner at Walmart, Weiman, Granite, Cleaner & Polish at Walgreens, Rejuvenate Countertop Polish at Home Depot.Helpful Reply

Paticia G on Sep 08, 2016This has happened to me with clear coated marble counter tops with anything that had any alcohol in it. I used a high gloss clear nail top coat and it did help to hide the spot a little bit( or a non yellowing polyeurathane) ( sorry about spelling- just couldn't get it right)Helpful Reply

Vpb8080955 on Sep 08, 2016Get a can of auto paste wax and apply it to your counter top. Let it dry and use an electric buffer or attach a buffer to a drill ( they have drill attachment buffers at Lowes) then buff it, repeat and buff again. This may take a little time, but should work.Helpful Reply

Mike Wagner on Sep 09, 2016When we used to have a fifth wheel camper, I used Gel Gloss on the fiberglass exterior to make it shine! If nowhere else, I'm sure that Camping World still sells it. They also have an online presence if there's not a store in your vicinity! Do a Google Search for "Gel Gloss" and I'm sure you will get some hits!Helpful Reply

Sheila D on Sep 12, 2016Theresa, Check with professional or big box store as being laminate/formica it may not be fixable-it does not have a protective layer and can not be resealed if stripped.Helpful Reply
