I have a scratch in my solid surface countertop, how can I remove it?

Tops! In Countertops, Inc. - Colorado Springs, CO
For minor surface scratches we recommend using a Grey Scotch-Brite Pad. Buff entire surface of the countertop in a circular motion. Buffing select areas will cause the finish to look uneven, so make sure you do the entire countertop surface. For more severe scratches and deep gouges, we recommend having the top professionally sanded. We work with a vacuum sander to keep the mess to a minimum and can usually complete the job in a couple hours.

Why do solid surface guys like the Rotex sander?

Festool - FAQ
The Rotex is popular because it is a dual mode sander that provides versatility. It is aggressive in its gear-driven mode and with the flip of a switch it becomes a random orbital sander for fine sanding. You can also use it as a polisher. But what people really like is its Jetstream dust extraction principle. Under this patented system, the sanding pad has a hole in the center that supplies air to sweep dust outward toward 8 pickup holes at the perimeter of the pad.
