I had new solid surface countertops installed today in my kitchen, but was disappointed in the cloudy appearance. It looks dusty as if it needs a good cleaning, but the cloudiness is in the finish itself. The installer said it was just the color I chose, but it looks like an old or from a bad lot. What do you think? Thanks!
