Results
The etch was removed - no traces left! We went through the above steps three times in order to completely remove and blend in the area. The etched area was pretty big and felt a little rough but we were able to remove it. Light etches can usually be removed with one application. Please Note: MB-11 is not meant to re polish entire tops - use it for spot polishing.
