Removing scratches from countertops

Anyone know what's appropriate to use? Our 2013 Eagle fifth wheel has the fake granite counter and it seems just using it causes minor scratching. I didn't notice but DW di and wanted me to ask. Hiding her glasses isn't an option, she has contacts.

I suppose using lower wattage bulbs is out, too!

By "fake granite", I'm assuming you mean Corian (or similar) solid surface. If that's the case, Corian is acrylic, which is a fairly soft plastic, and it doesn't take much to scratch it. But, it also doesn't take much to repair the scratches. You can sand the scratches out with an ultra-fine emery cloth or sanding sponge: 120 grit or finer. Sand the entire area with a circular motion until the scratches are gone - do not use a belt sander or random orbital sander! After you've sanded the area, repeat the sanding with a green Scotchbrite scrubber pad, then repeat with a white or pink Scotchbrite pad to polish the surface. That's what Corian fabricators do. It will make the top look brand new!

Do not do this on a laminate (Formica) countertop! Their color layer is only a thin sheet of paper, and you will sand right through it in no time.

This sounds like good info, and I've passed it along to the mrs. Thanks for the help.
