gloss doors and laminate worktops and a pain to keep shiney and a micro fibre cloth is the best thing to buff them up, but just like car paint they become swirled.
granite is in a different league to laminate and is very tough, it can also be polished using the right equipment but probably will only need done every 5 years if properly maintained, need to watch as granite is porous and that red wine can actaluut stain it if not clean up straight away.
i have started fitting corine/encore worktops which are very good as they are a type plastic resin compound and can be buffed and sanded very easily and the joins are more or less invisible
