Solid surface materials are non-porous and renewable, allowing for the buffing out of surface-level scuffs. Begin by cleaning the affected area with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. If scuffs remain, use a non-abrasive scrubbing pad with a kitchen cleaner. For deeper imperfections, use a fine-grit (typically 320 to 400 grit) sanding pad to lightly buff the surface in circular or linear motions, depending on the countertop's original finish. Always ensure the surface is clean and dry before starting, and check with the manufacturer for specific grit recommendations to maintain the intended sheen.
