We don't have a marble fireplace, but have marble and slate mantle clocks around the house. The best thing that we have found for bringing out the best in the marble/slate is normal baby oil. You will be surprised what difference it makes. A little on a soft cloth, goes a long way and brings the marble up a treat. Another tip - if you get any chips in the marble, these can be repaired with a product called 'milliput'. This can be found at most hardware outlets or art shops, comes in various colours and can be painted over if necessary. When applied to a chip, it will set hard and ready to colour over. This will also repair china and porcelain and can be obtained in white as well as several colours.

Go and see your nearest monumental stonemason (cuts grave stones) and ask them if they have a small amount of polishing compound you could buy (they should give you abit if you ask nicely) then go to a car accessories shop and buy a cheap car paint buffer about £15-£20. Put a small amount of paste on to the polishing bonnet spray the marble with water and start to polish keep spraying water as you polish so that it does not dry out. Make sure you cover the surrounding area well because it will flick off the polishing bonnet. hope this helps

Go to a fireplace retailer and they will sell polish made specifically for marble, If it has dulled then restorer should be applied first.

Get some BarKeepers Friend cleaning powder. It works great on marble and a lot of other things without scratching.

The same way you polish a knob, with elbow grease.
