English term or phrase: honed countertop vs polished countertop
A. I love marble countertops but they have pros and they have cons.
B.If you’d like we can do a stain test, honed versus polished and see which one holds up? Orange juice, ketchup, vinegar, coffee and then red wine.
A-This one (the polished) is terrible. You can see how the polished sample just absorbed everything like a sponge. The honed, still there’s a little bit because it’s not sealed but it really isn’t as bad as this. (as the polished)

Ya posteé la pregunta pero me confundí y pregunté dos términos en la misma.

Puede ser que sea mate vs lustrado/pulido?

Gracias!
