Yes it's sealed - left it on for 3hrs - next test will be vinegar & lemon - will let u know

Can't wait to see the results!

Just a thought, it wouldn't matter what kind of stone you have; the "acid etch test" will always etch your countertops. Granted it will take different amounts of time from material to material, but the result will be the same. As long as one cleans up the acidic substance off the surface of the countertop within a reasonable amount of time, there should be no issue for the most part. I've had the opportunity of acquiring a sample of the polished version of White Cherokee Marble, and it is one of the only marbles I would ever consider putting into a kitchen or other high traffic area. A very nice material overall!

Good morning folks, I've been restoring natural stone for over 20 years. Until a few monthes ago there was no acceptable product in the world that could be applied to marble countertops that both looked great and prevented 100% of all stains and acid etching. We are currently the only company in the country certified by the manufacturer to apply a brand new revolutionary coating for marble. Yes it is a coating but this product will turn the marble industry upside down. For years people have been afraid to put marble in their kitchens. We have been working to perfect the complicated application process and I have to tell you that the finished product is absolutely beautiful. Upon completion of the application the marble looks like a reflection of crystal clear water while maintaining the depth and beauty of the marble. The best part about this coating is that it will prevent acid etching, stains from any product you can imagine including tomatoe sauce, wine, soda and even hydrochloride acid!! I will be posting pictures if the finished product in a few days. This coating can either be highly polished or honed. I know there will be skeptics. I was until I saw it with my own eyes. It truly is an amazing product.
