Look at the light as well as the stone
Send one image straight down and another across the benchtop toward a window. Reflected light helps show dull areas and differences in sheen that are difficult to judge in a single overhead image. Include the edge profile and any waterfall return. The aim is to understand the existing finish before discussing a film finish.
Separate existing damage from future care
An etched area, a stain and a chip are different problems. Covering a damaged surface does not necessarily restore it. If a mark needs treatment first, the preparation and protection should be considered as separate parts of the scope. Do not sand or use a polishing compound before the material and finish have been reviewed.
Discuss the finish sample
A gloss or low-sheen appearance should be chosen against the actual stone and the lighting in your room. Ask how the proposed film will look at a seam, around a sink and along a shaped edge. Where a sample is available, review it before choosing the final specification.
Daily habits still matter
Use chopping boards, coasters and trivets, and follow the care instructions for the installed system. A surface layer needs its own cleaning routine. Keep the product details and installation date with your kitchen records so future maintenance is based on the correct material.
