It is not slippery on my tile floors. Having said that I am not sure it would be appropriate for outdoor granite steps if they are subject to the weather. With all the pollution in the rain now it might cause wear on the polish. This might be a question for the manufacturer.

Well counter tops are generally highly polished and do bead water after being polished. Outside granite might have a coarse finish? If they are polished I would think they would be slippery when wet.

when i polish the counters they become VERY smooth and thus slippery...i find this to be an indication of a good uniform polish....this SHOULD be expected however...i presume that the steps are not smooth like my counters and thus would not have the same issue.

NO. Granite Gold Polish is not recommended as it becomes slippery. Here is they're "ask the experts" web page.http://www.granitegold.com/ask-the-experts/ If you follow this link, the answer is third from the bottom of the page.

I can only say that it leaves a nice smooth shiny surface on my countertops.

Yes, you can use it on ceramic tile steps. They will be totally slip resistant. In the shower, with soap and shampoo and all other products, this stuff still works. It's amazing. I have not used in on outdoor wood steps, so I can't say

Karen: I would think it would be OK to remove--not sure if it would dull/change the appearance of the granite after removal of the quick shine so obviously try a small test area first.

I used it on black grained granite. Worked like a charm.Marble is softer than granite. Take your time and don't rush the process. Use course grit and work your way to the fine grit. I would use rubber boots, water will go everywhere. It should work fine. Keep the grinding wheels fairly flat, or you could knock the diamond segments off the wheel.

I use it on bathroom granite - its the same as my kitchen granite. Is there a lot of grout? I would try it on a small, more hidden or not noticeable area first.

It definitely can, but Granite has a natural shine all alone, I would not use it on Granite. My counters are a dull finish and I wanted them to shine and look nice. That is why I use this product.

The question I have, is there grout between the tiles. If there is grout, I think that would hinder the the adhesive from sticking on the entire step. I installed these treds on oak steps at least six months ago and have had no problems.

I have granite and no issues. I had a plumber install, not corking on granite.

I am confident that the 3M adhesive would enable one to stick it to granite. Just make certain that it is not exposed to any water or moisture.

Jonathan...I have limestone steps also...I just never tried it on them just my house & was 100% satisfied...it even leaves a nice shine on the house....but I personally wouldn't hesitate to spray my steps....!

The literature says it can be used on floors and will not be slippery but will repeal water. I don't know about driveway application. Check online website and call or write company. They were helpful when I called.

Hi John - The back of the bottle says can be used on counters, tile, stone, wood and glass. I have used it on my granite and haven't had any issues, but I am not great for following the granite manufacturer care instructions. I have also used Windex. It's pretty potent, so if you are concerned, maybe dilute it a bit & test an area or not use it on your granite. Hope this is helpful!

absolutely not! I have a black granite table and it works wonderfully. I started using this companies products years ago when I met the owner who was extremely knowledgable and passionate about proper granite care. I even use this product on my stainless because it is streak free. Not slippery at all. Hope this helped!Their stone polish spray is great too to give your granite some extra shine ( do not use on floors, this would be slippery)

I think it would work fine if left outside, but after awhile it might be more difficult to collapse/extend the ramp, if grit is allowed to get inside the sliding part. My golden has used it in snowy weather and the grip is still very good!

I am going to say No. I installed some granite and used Bulletproof on it and it did not seem to do much but puddle up. So I believe the granite must have been sealed.

I would say yes. The problem I had is not the sturdiness of the steps, it was the dogs were afraid to use it. Not sure why - its not slippery. Good luck!

Yes, I've used it too over outdoor stepping stones, wood items, just about everything. It is my go-to protector. Have fun!
