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.
