How do you smooth granite

Step 1
Acquire an electric polisher with diamond polishing pads. These can be purchased or rented from most large building supply warehouses.

Step 2
Put on your work gloves, dust mask, and safety glasses. Then put the roughest diamond polishing past on the polisher (usually 50-grit). Begin at the outside edge of the granite and move inward. Polish the granite until the texture of the stone is consistent and does not change with additional polishing.

Step 3
Remove the pad from the polisher and put on an 80-grit diamond pad. Continue polishing as in the step above.

Step 4
Work the granite with incrementally finer polishing pads until you have polished the granite with a 3000-grit pad, which will give the granite a smooth glass-like finish.

Step 5
Wipe the granite dust from the surface using a cloth that is barely wet. Allow the granite to dry over night.

Step 6
Apply granite sealant to the granite with a dry cloth, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
