I just finished & installed about 16′ of Formica brand SS tops. They wanted a matte finish. The tops turned out great & they are very happy but they have a question. What can I do to the finish of the tops so to not show oil smudges such as from a muffin or piece of cake? This is in an office kitchen & the ladies bring cupcakes or cake most every day! They clean up fine but they asked what could be done. I told them I could put a high polish on there, but that also brings to light more scratches easily.
I finished with 320 then Scotch Brite. I told them I would ask the experts!!320 grit and #7447 Maroon Scotch Brite is kind of redundant. The grit rating is pretty close, if I remember correctly.
Remember, color choice can show or hide greasy smudges as much as finish can. David is right, there may not be a whole lot you can do, depending on the color.
Hi Brian,
What color is it? If it’s new I designed it, if it’s old I knocked it off in China. If I know the color maybe I can think of something to help.
Tom,
You should know better than to invoke the name of the devil in writing no less, for he shall appear.
OK, I know that one well. Kinda on the darker side, large particles. Let me think about that a bit and get back to you.
There is not much you can do. If you were to scotchbrite with grey and then white it would put a semi gloss finish that might help it a little.
If you place oil on the top you are going to see it. Suggest she brings carrots and celery sticks for a snack.
Brian,
Some colors and finishes will show grease spots less but t.here is not alot you can do about that except for having them use plates or napkins.
