For information purposes, paper towels and cleanser would not remove the oily substance that has soaked into the stone.

And even if someone of your stature were to try to do what you have suggested that I do, the Park Service and Park Police would not allow it.

I went there this morning to document the damage, because the MSM has not, as well as to find out if The Park Service was working on cleaning up the damage, which they are. Unfortunately, the substance has soaked deep enough into the stone that the pressure washer was unable to fully remove it.

Your other insinuations are what I'd expect from a not-quite-rational leftist, but not from someone who says he's a conservative.

Whether or not the stone is polished it is still porous and can be stained. Granite kitchen counter tops are great looking but need to be sealed to prevent staining. Sealing Granite Countertops Guide
