Lustro Italiano Etch Remover, 8 Ounce

I've used this product in the past to remove etching from my bathroom marble vanity countertop. It worked pretty well but I used a buffing machine because I had a large area to cover and many etch marks. It still took a lot of time and many many passes to remove the etching. Using a buffing tool makes removing the etching less tedious but it makes a big mess. The sandy paste flings all over the place. There was no way I could do all of this large area by hand and I didn't mind the cleanup. It took the majority of the etching out and left my countertop nice and shiny. Fast forward a few years, it was time to do this job again. Ugh, so much work! Given the success I had with this product in the past, I purchased it again. I got decent results but after buffing for an hour I still had areas that I wasn't satisfied with. Perhaps some of the new etching was a little deeper than last time. The countertop looked much better but I wanted it even better. I decided to try another product. The new product (a little more expensive) seemed much stronger and worked much faster with less passes. I got better results removing the deeper etching, however, this other product also left my countertop a little dull. So this is what I ended up doing with great success, after first using Lustro Italiano Etch Remover and getting most of the etching out, followed by another pass with a stronger etch remover to get the deeper etching removed, I then did a third pass with Lustro Italiano Etch Remover to get the shine back. Keep in mind, all of this was done with an electric buffing tool which made the job doable but much more messy. With the amount of etching I had, there was no way I could do this by hand. The mess was worth the results! I gave this product 5 stars because it really does work. My only beef with this product is that half of the container is filled with water which you are instructed to remove before using. So, you're actually getting a container 1/2 filled with product. The other product I used was all powder which you moisten yourself with a few drops of water.... thus, you're getting a full container of product. Both worked well but Lustro Italiano Etch Remover left a better shine in the end.

I would highly recommend Lustro Italiano Etch Remover. I had a great experience with the product: it was easy to use, worked really well, and I think it's a good value. Here's the story: my young son had the stomach flu and threw up all over the travertine tile in our home's entryway and hallway. I felt bad for him but thought, "well at least he chose a place that would be easy to clean up." After mopping the area, I saw that his stomach acid had etched the travertine's surface. It was a giant splatter that started at one end of the hallway and then ran to another giant splatter right in front of the entry doors. Sorry to share those gory details but I want to make the point that this was a huge area. The tile's gloss was gone. Every time I walked down the hallway with the light on, it was plain as day. I purchased 2 of the 8oz. containers of Lustro and was a little hesitant because how could it possibly work? The surface gloss was completely gone. Because it was such a large area, rather than trying to apply Lustro by hand, I got out my car waxing random orbital buffer with a white buffing bonnet. Using a spoon, I applied a few tablespoons to the floor (it said not to mix the stuff so I didn't. When opened, Lustro has 1/2" of water on top of an orange gritty material). I turned on the buffer and moved it around randomly across the tile. Recommendation: if you have knee pads, use them to save your knees). The instructions say to spray water on the area when the water is worked out of the material - I added a little but realized that the bonnet was wet from absorbing much of the fluid so expected that would likely work as is. I buffed the areas for about 5 minutes and at this point, I had no idea if Lustro would work. I cleaned up the areas with a white cotton cloth and water - rinsing out the cloth as necessary. I let the floor dry and p r e s t o - perfect. The gloss was back and it looks superb. Easy peasy. In all, I used about 1/3 of one 8oz container of Lustro. I now want to buff all of the tile because the treated areas look so gorgeous and I have a lot left over (though don't worry, it blends perfectly to the surrounding tile. My desire to use Lustro on all of the tile is more of a compulsion than a necessity). I am going to reseal the areas today with a sealer spray. Great product - I highly recommend.

My tenants left a lot of etching on my vanity counters. A lot were easily removed with a lot of elbow grease but the ones I assume were from cleaning bottles were unable to be removed.

I used this product on our polished marble bathroom floor with complete success. Over time the floor became marred with circular spots from either water or lotion, especially noticeable under daytime lighting. I tried various home solutions and nothing removed them. Experimenting with water and vinegar created even larger spots - don’t use vinegar on polished marble! I also purchased the Lustro Stain remover and applied that first, according to instructions. It didn’t do a thing although it might’ve assisted in preparation. Because I was astonished at how easily the Etch remover brought back the glossy marble finish, definitely didn’t require 2 to 3 minutes of scrubbing. The instructions refer to a toothpaste consistency but I poured the water off the top of the paste in the container, scooped a small amount of the gritty stuff on each spot, scrubbed with a small microfibre cloth and misted the area with water whenever it appeared a little dry. I didn’t apply Lustro Sealer because sealer is not required for polished marble. I just cleaned the floor well with their cleaner (wonderful product) and it looks as shiny as when it was brand new.

Me encantó el producto, retiró la mancha de vinagre en el piso de mármol. La quito en un 80 a 90%. Busqué información de cómo retirar la mancha y el producto de venta en AMAZON. Comentó que es poco el producto, pero cumplió con la expectativa. Y claro que lo recomiendo.

Worked brilliantly on my marble flooring. Had a bottle of wine smash on the floor during our last house party and it ended leaving a huge etch mark on it. Used this product as instructed and while it took some time and effort, loved the end result and the etch marks are completely gone!

Had a patch of dull marble flooring and now I don’t. Extremely toxic so use gloves. It takes a bit of muscle power to rub and shine this on but it’s well worth it to fix damaged marble
