ESPLENDIDO™ Kota Stone Permanent Color Darkener & Scratch Remover is an advanced deep penetrating restoration treatment specially engineered for Kota Stone, Shahabad Stone, Tandur Stone, Kadappa Stone, Limestone and other dense decorative stone surfaces.
Unlike temporary polishing oils, surface dressings, waxes, or topical colour enhancers that remain only on the surface, ESPLENDIDO™ Kota Stone penetrates deep into the stone structure itself to help restore fine scratches, abrasion marks, grinding dullness, faded appearance and loss of natural colour richness.
The advanced penetrating restoration system integrates within the stone structure and helps restore natural colour depth, improve visual richness, reduce the appearance of fine scratches and create a premium restored stone appearance without forming a heavy artificial coating film.
Once cured, the treatment provides permanent colour enhancement, durable water resistance, long-term weather resistance and a rich natural darkened finish while maintaining the natural texture and character of the stone.

Step 1 – Surface Preparation
Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from dust, oil, grease, wax, polish residue and loose contaminants.
Step 2 – Application
Apply uniformly using a soft cloth, sponge or applicator pad.
Ensure complete wetting of the surface during application.
Step 3 – Multi Coat Application
For optimum colour enrichment and scratch remover performance, apply 3 coats.
Apply the second and third coats after the previous coat becomes surface dry and receptive.
Step 4 – Curing
Allow approximately 24 hours for complete curing and optimum performance.

TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Deep Penetrating Scratch Restoration Technology
Most scratch hiding products simply coat the surface.
ESPLENDIDOβ’ Kota Stone works differently.
The treatment penetrates into the micro-porous structure of the stone and helps restore optical uniformity within scratch-affected areas. This reduces visible light scattering caused by fine abrasion and micro-scratches, making the surface appear richer, darker and more uniform.
Internal Stone Integration
Unlike topical oils and temporary polish enhancers, the treatment integrates within the stone structure itself rather than remaining only on the surface.
Permanent Colour Enrichment
The system permanently enhances natural colour depth and visual richness without creating an artificial painted appearance.
Non-Film Forming Technology
The treatment remains non-film forming and maintains the natural texture and appearance of the stone.
Deep Penetration Performance
Designed specifically for dense stone surfaces where conventional surface treatments often fail to provide long-lasting results.
