Finish my countertops?
We finished our concrete countertops a month ago. We used a high gloss finish sealer but it shows food and grease stains. What can I use on top of the already applied sealer?

I would contact a concrete contractor for the best advice. There are lots of options for concrete sealers, but you want to be sure to choose the right one for going over another sealer.
Contact the manufacturer of the sealer you applied and talk to their customer support line, they should be able to help you. Have the lot numbers ready from the sealer.
That's tough because concrete countertops are notorious for collecting stains, it's the nature of the material and one of the biggest complaints about them. You can try to sand them out with a diamond sanding block (you can see my few tips here: https://www.flippingtheflip.com/2020/07/variety-pack.html). You might contact the manufacturer of the sealer you already used for assistance.
Hi Kelly, I would give the installers a call and find out what your options are. Without knowing what sealer was used, it will be difficult to give you the right advice.
