Q. My stone countertop has developed lots of tiny spots and cuts and scratches, and it is really not that old. I found out later that it is granite, and it is pitted. How can I restore it? The dealer said he cannot do anything because I didn't buy the granite from him, but from a third party.

RUINED MY GRANITE

A. You didn't necessarily ruin the granite, but you sure abused it by using it as a cutting board and banging on it and other naughty things. Call the man who sold it to grind it smooth again. Then apply a granite sealer. The dealer who refused to help you is rather selfish; he could have reground the top for a hefty fee. Find a dealer who can regrind it.
