Any cheap(ish) ways to refinish granite counters?

Any recommendations on sealant, polish, and/or buffer tools?
Google tells me tons of different shite, looking for some opinions on here from someone who has done it. I know there is an expensive refinishing route I can pay someone to do, looking more for self help solutions.
They just have normal wear and tear to the finish from years of use.

Call the home improvement show with Paul Lagrange on WWL. He’s actually on the air right now.

They have several products at both Home Depot and Lowe’s that can clean or refinish granite. I would try that first and see how it comes out

There is a place in New Orleans that can help you. Looked it up TereseTop Works

None of the shite at a big box stores is going to help you. I just repolished my marble countertops myself. Marble is way softer than granite, so you're going to have your work cut out.
Your options:
1. Go from a polished finish to a honed or satin finish.
2. Spend forever trying to achieve a machine polish.
3. Pay someone to do it, but be warned it's almost as expensive as just replacing the stone.
If you aren't in love with what you have, I'd forego 1-3 and change your counters.
If you are going to do it yourself, you will need a decent variable speed polisher and some diamond polishing pads.
