Kitchen surfaces!

Is there a quick fix to polish up/restore the worktops in a kitchen? They are those black speckled marble look ones (in reality I suppose they are a sort of melamine on chipboard?) What can I use to polish out all the micro scatches from over 12yrs of use/abuse? Must be quick and efficient as there is a lot of surface area and not much time!!
I've tried some metallic t-cut but the swirly scratches are still present and the stink ain't that cool for a Kitchen!
TIA!

Been trawling around and there's some stuff called counter top magic. Anyone used this?

A 15" angle grinder with a 40 grit disk will get rid of those scratches in no time Kev!

Countertop magic will only polish over the scratches. A bit like that flash dash stuff. I've not found anything that will take scratches out of worktops.

Kev. Stop being tight!
You get a better offer for your home if the kitchen tops look good. That is a well known fact that I got from a bit of paper stuck to my shoe.
Get sorted with these guys;

Then you have granite tops for a fraction of the cost of the real thing. Good house seller.

Kev, this mite sound off the wall re your work tops....try smooth peanut butter, the natural oils of the nut apprently works, , think i saw it on a US garge prog about detailing cars, sposed to be the best thing for satin /gloss black items.

See told ya
, only 1 thing Kev to be cautious of, make sure your worktop isnt allergic to nuts , dont want it to have a antiflajobby attack or what ever they call it
