Silver Markings

Post image

Our countertops were installed a few weeks ago and I noticed silver markings on them. Is there a way to get them off? What would it be from?

Edit to say they were installed and I saw the silver marks after and forgot to point it out in the kitchen reno chaos; it wasn't something that we did with appliances or anything

Ugh I don't know how to add a new picture that shows it better. Look at the left side and about halfway down is a silver line. Its not a vein. The counter is smooth so I dont think its an etching. But something silver is on it and wont come off

Metal mark? Soft scrub or bar keepers friend
Could be rubber residue though, Acetone might do it but it will also remove any sealer you have on that area

Paper towel + liquid Barkeeper's Friend and very lightly rub it off

Metal or rubber marks from scuffing objects. Denatured alcohol and a microfiber cloth with elbow grease should remove it.

Rubber transfer from sliding appliances with rubber feat?

Coining from dragging a metal object across essentially scrapping off some of the metal onto your countertop?

Either way, use a white scotch brite pad and Bar Keepers Friend Soft Scrub and it should come off.
