In our last house we had a new synthetic material sink that began to
stain in the bottom after a few months. It turned out that the woman
we hired to clean our house twice a month was using an abrasive
cleanser like Comet on it, which had micro-scratched the surface,
allowing stains to set in. We switched to something like Soft Scrub
and the problem seemed to diminish.

I wonder if you could polish the sink with an auto polishing compound
to make it less porous on the surface, blocking out stains?

I wonder if what I just wrote makes any sense, also.
