Welcome to a new standard of stone protection with MORE® AntiEtch® Next Gen™, now backed by a lifetime warranty. Expertly formulated to defend against etching and staining, this transparent, professional-grade coating preserves the beauty of your natural stone surfaces without altering their appearance.
Acidic substances, such as wine or lemon juice, can dull or discolor stone surfaces, a process known as "etching," when they react with calcium-based stone. This reaction results in cloudy marks, rings, or a worn-down surface.
MORE® AntiEtch® Next Gen™ prevents this by creating an invisible barrier that chemically resists damage, helping your stone maintain its original finish and natural elegance.
Spills are part of life, but they don’t need to leave a mark. With MORE® AntiEtch® Next Gen™, acidic substances wipe away without a trace. It’s also ideal for bathroom vanities, offering protection from skincare products, makeup, and other common culprits.
MORE® AntiEtch® Next Gen™ is backed by a lifetime warranty, offering unmatched peace of mind. Previously supported by a 10-year warranty, the updated formula ensures long-term performance you can trust.
Note: MORE® AntiEtch® Next Gen™ prevents etching and staining but does not protect against scratches.
STEP 1
During the site visit, our experts will assess the condition of your countertops to determine the extent of any current staining or etching. Based on our evaluation, you’ll receive an estimate which includes the project timeline, typically 1-3 days, depending upon the amount of restoration needed.
STEP 2
Once the estimate is approved, our team will begin by preparing your space, ensuring the area is protected and accessible. Next, we’ll remove any existing stains and etch marks, sanding the countertops with a HEPA vacuum system to control dust and maintain a clean environment.
STEP 3
Our team carefully measures the precise amount of liquid and activator needed for your countertop to provide a flawless application. The MORE® AntiEtch® Next Gen™ is then poured and allowed to self-level before being cured with a UV light for a durable, long-lasting finish.
STEP 4
To complete the process, our team sands the countertop to achieve your desired finish - either honed or polished. Once finished, your surface will be fully protected against any etching and staining for years to come!

Etching is a chemical reaction that occurs when acidic substances like lemon juice, wine, or vinegar come into contact with marble. This reaction alters the surface, leaving dull, frosted marks that can feel rough to the touch and sometimes appear discolored.
Common culprits include citrus, tomatoes, vinegar-based cleaners, wine, coffee, and soda — all of which are acidic enough to damage calcium-based stone. Harsh household cleaners can also contribute to surface wear over time.
Yes, etched marble can be professionally restored. However, refinishing services can be costly and may require resurfacing the stone entirely. Preventative protection, like MORE® AntiEtch® Next Gen™, is a far more effective and long-term solution.
