I had a deep scratch in a corian countertop that sanded out pretty easily: ets150/3 with 150, 220 and a brown scotchbrite type pad. It is not quite back to match the original color. What is the right abrasive to get me there? I am thinking maybe a platin?

I found that 150/220/300/400/600/800 was a good schedule to get a Corian finish that was clear and reflective but not with high gloss. The downside is that each step higher in grit level leaves a surface that is more revealing of scratches from everyday wear and tear.

It depends on the colour and finish. I have the below in my notes.
Matt; 120, 180, 240, 320 Granat
Semi-gloss; as Matt then 500 Platin2 wet or dry
Gloss; as Semi-gloss then 1000 Platin2 wet or dry, MPA 6000 polish

I've attached a document on finishing solid surface materials. The original came from Steve Bace in the solid surface class. I just added to his document to create this one. [smile]
