Speedster I too would like to know if there is a special brand of wax you used. And did you use the power buffer on that also?
thanks, Jim

Yes we have experience that too. I have to keep a towel on the counter with the coffee pot on it. Also our sind rusts all the time, I thought it was stainless steel, but I guess not.

Let us know how you make out, the polishing compound took all the scratch's out on ours. If it is really bad you might need to use some 800 -1200 grit sand paper first before polishing but even on a couple bad ones we had the polishing compound took them out with some buffing...

When we picked up our 2012 ST25RB, my wife noticed many scratches that we missed seeing when we were first looking at Crossroad models in dealer lot. Our trailer is at dealers right now having few issues looked at including the scratched countertop & tabletop. We were told that Crossroads has a "kit" they would be providing dealer to "buff out" scratches. Once we pick it up I am really curious to see how the counter & tabletops look. If we're not happy with the results we will be asking them to replace it entirely. I really hope that it doesn't come to that though. I really don't like the idea of them removing & replacing countertop for fear, it may end up being worse.

Tony & Nancy,
There have been a few postings on here relative to the Corian Countertops. Some of the postings said when they took their units back to the dealers all they did was use a polishing compound to take out the scratches and it worked. We too noticed some "scratches" albeit little ones. On one of the postings here one of the members said he used the polishing compound, then 2 coats of Carnuba Turtle Wax using a bugging machine. Today I did my countertops and the sink too and they came out quite nice, very shiny, the proof of how well it works will be in the future I guess. Just a little hint for you. Jim

Hi Jim, I did read where one of the members used the "Mothers" polishing compound.....but since this is a brand new trailer I opted to have the dealer take care of it, for fear of me making it worse, thus voiding the warranty. We noted the scratches (some pretty deep ones too) when picking up trailer, and salesperson noted on both my contract copy & his about the scratches. I think personally they were caused by the bbq box staples. I recall seeing that box on tabletop when we went back for a 2nd look before we bought it. They probably slid box on both counter & table causing the scratches. Glad to hear they can be buffed out though. I'm sure the wife & I will be creating our own signature scratches over the years.
Happy Camping!

Tony,
Our unit is brand new too...there were no scratches when we picked it up but after loading it, and putting in a "toaster oven" we noticed a scratch. Seems one of the rubber legs fell of the toaster oven and as we slid it into the corner, well, bingo. After reading Speedsters post I decided to try it and it appears to work well on small, fine scratches...and water just beads up too Good luck, Jim
