WATER RINGS/SPOTS

Type:
Rings from drinking glasses and hard water spots from drips.

Problem;
Water will not usually stain but will leave a white ring or spot.This ring or spot is deposits of minerals from the water. If the drink contains acid(lemon in ice tea) it will etch polished marble in the shape of a ring or spot.

Solution;
1.Try buffing ring or spot with dry #000 steel wool.
2.I fring or spot still remains re-polish with polishing powder.
3.If ring or spot is very deep re-honing may be necessary.
Caution:If the stone has been waxed or colored with dyes the ring may have cleaned the wax or dyes from the surface.To test for waxes or dyes take some acetone and clean an inconspicuous area.If the stone lightens than there is a wax or dye on the stone. If this is the case you will need to re-wax or re-dye.
