I sprayed my formica countertop with a surface cleaner containing bleach and let it sit a bit too long (got distracted!) and when I came back to wipe it off, it took the shine off of the countertop in that area. Is there any way to get that shine back? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try a kitchen wax made, such as Jubalee (07/13/2005)

Gel-gloss is the best product I have ever seen for countertop restoration. It comes in a spray can or cream and is similar to car wax, in the way that it dries and then you rub it off. I hope this helps. (07/26/2005)

Hi to all. I just tried "Armor-all" on my marble-looking formica and it really shines now! You can get it anywhere they sell automotive/car wax items. (02/20/2008)

Well I'm struggling with my counter top, too. My sister actually refinished counter tops in 2 of her homes by cleaning the surface thoroughly then applying an acrylic paint with a swirl pattern. She did such a great job it looks like a marble counter top.

I, too, spilled some kind of cleaner on my kitchen counter. I just purchased a can of Countertop Magic FM44 at Ace Hardware and after 1 treatment it looks 90% better. I think one more dose will do it. Good Luck. (03/11/2008)

I have used car wax on my Formica Countertops. I used NUFINISH. It brought back the shine. (09/25/2008)

Don't forget to check the products you are using for toxins. Armorall is known to be very toxic...not what you want around your food or toddlers!
I have the same problem and have thought sanding them down with fine sand paper and buffing them with automotive medium grit compound then waxing.Also thought of painting with hardened urethane but my tops are matte imitation granite so thats a no go.
I too have dull counters it looks like the clear coat has just worn off over the years. I see all these wax remedies but are they safe with food preparation? I wouldn't think so.
Are use car wax both paste and liquid floor wax and it cracked Little Fish or cracks in it it looked awful. I would like to use armor all but I am almost afraid to. Has anyone used armor all?
I have had Formica countertops since the early 90's n so would like to put something on to make them shine. Any suggestions
