i did all of mine in the 90. i bought the sandpaper and scuff pads from this place.

i wet sanded as much as i could and the mess was there but reduced.

you are right that the shiner you want the finer grit. they also have different pads to dull it just a little i did that and it looked real nice.

you will get dust so plan on it.

the great thing about corian is you can start over if you dont like what you did.
