Removing enhancer sealer from granite

Can Enhancing Sealer be removed? Can the granite be restored to its original appearance? We chose a beautiful exotic granite for our new home. The installer applied an enhancing sealer to the granite. The granite now has a different appearance, the veining is much more pronounced and the creamy white areas of the granite now have an ivory yellow appearance. Thank you for your assistance with these questions.

Hi Anonymous,

I can't be sure if you can remove the enhancing sealer, but you could try using acetone to see if that will work.

I would ask the contractor what is the brand name of the enhancing sealer and then call the company to ask them what product they recommend to remove the enhancing sealer.

I remember a number of years ago, we used an enhancing sealer that left some weird spotting.

It was from a company we used regularly and the company was able to find their chemist to find out what chemical would work to remove the enhancing sealer.

In our case, a chemical called Xylene, which can be bought in Home Depot was recommended to remove the enhancing sealer.

Again, call the manufacturer for advice on how to remove the enhancing sealer.

I hope this helps.
