Hi all
my wife decided to clean the oven today with " oven pride". You put the shelves and trays in a bag with the chemical for 24 hours and, hey presto you have gleaming shelves!
trouble is, during the night the bag leaked slightly and when removing the shelves she dripped some of the residue across the work top!
This has left a stain on one part and some lines where it drizzled. ( see pics)
I'm wondering if this will have impregnated the quartz, or just the surface.
Do you think it will wet polish out, or is it bugxxred. I have a makita polisher, but don't have any pads for this.

Hello Paul.

Your post explains the order we've had from you on our website over the weekend for engineered stone polishing pads.

You've got a chemical reaction between whatever nasties are in "oven pride" and the resin element of the quartz.

Before polishing anything, clean the top with neat acetone (nail varnish remover) this is what the factories use to remove minor marks during production. Allow it to dry and see if the appearance changes.

You've ordered the correct pads, but surface polishing quartz is not easy. Don't jump in too harsh, I'd suggest starting at 400 grit and working up to 3000. That might be enough to solve the problem, if it's not you'll have to drop to 200 and try again.

Don't dwell in one spot too long and use as much water as is practical.

In fact, phone me on Monday during the day before we ship your order. I'll have a chat with you about this first.

Top advice from ATS and like's been said already use plenty of water! Good luck and it'd be good to see some photos during and after the repair too...

Hi, I know this thread is 7 years old but hoping someone can help?

Did you manage to fix the problem and if so how?

I've did this to my worktop yesterday and absolutely gutted. Not even a year old and its ruined.

Really need some advice on this, if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it!!
