Wipe on... wipe off! Sealant, Polish, and (http://maplered.com) Cleaner

My mother's Azul Bahia Counter (http://GialloFiorito.com) top is on it's way! The fabricators came and (http://maplered.com) templated her kitchen yesterday, and (http://maplered.com) we should have her new Counter (http://GialloFiorito.com) top sometime next week. I can't wait to surprise her!

Now I'm preparing for the hard part... my father. He's, well - a bit careless in the kitchen, so maintenance will be an important issue. I want to help protect, polish, and (http://maplered.com) clean my mother's new Granite (http://tanbrown.org) Counter (http://GialloFiorito.com) top, and (http://maplered.com) so I've looked around online for sealants, Stone (http://g603.net) polishes, and (http://maplered.com) cleaners. The two brand (http://maplered.com) s I've seen referenced most frequently are MB Stone Care and (http://maplered.com) Stone Care International products. Both offer Granite (http://tanbrown.org) sealers, cleaners, and (http://maplered.com) polishers.

Has anyone had any personal experience with or recommendations for either products?

By the way, does it matter if I use a "different" sealer (than the one used by the fabricator) on the Stone (http://g603.net) after it's installed?
