Anyway to get burn marks out of marble? Girlfriend burned the bathroom with a curling iron / straightener or what ever that is. I've tried some tips from google; toothpaste, and a baking soda with water paste. Neither of them did anything.

Is it possible to wet sand it out? The burn isn't rough it's smooth to the touch.

Any tips?

I would try Cerama Bryte. Bought mine at Lowes for cleaning the burnt crap off of glass cooktops and other hard surfaces.
Doesn't specifically mention marble, but does say cultured marble.
Found it hidden in the appliance area not with all the other the cleaning products.

I'd guess the burn is from the residue and stuff that was on the marble, I doubt you burned the marble.

Do you have any pics of the burn mark in your counter?

From the pic it looks like onyx. If the burn is not to deep u might be able to sand it out. Using the methods u used before unfortunately won't work. What area do u live in. I could call a friend that is still in the restoration business to check out if u want.

Disregard that last of where do you live. You can try to wet sand it out by going down to a 120 grit and then back up to a 1000 to 1200 with paper. The hard thing is using a polishing compound to burn the shine back into it. Im sure there has to be a some local stone shops or restoration companies in your area.

Wow down to 120? I was going to start with 1000. Will a buffer not work with a fine swirl remover? Sorry I know paint not stone.

Yes. but the trick with stone is you have to have a stiff backing plate with sand paper, or you will ripple out the marble. For stone you usually use a diamond abrasion disks that go from 120-1800 with a bufferYour spot you sand on will also end up being about twice the size of the spot you are sanding on. Going down to 120 wont go deep on the marble but will open it up enough to remove some of the darkness. Its alot easier for me to do than to tell someone how to do it.
