Really BAD Granite CounterTop

Hello everyone. In the new home I purchased, the Granite (http://tanbrown.org) Counter (http://GialloFiorito.com) top was not taken care of. It is very dull and (http://maplered.com) no shine. I tried a polish by using Italian craftsman product but it still looks about the same. I did read I can buff it using an orbital car buffer, but not sure. I would really like to get as much color out of it as possible. It is a brownish/black Counter (http://GialloFiorito.com) top. I have tried several other products from Home Depot but still no new results. I have been told on other sites it might be honed Granite (http://tanbrown.org) , but not sure. Here are some pictures but it is very hard to see since the flash makes it shiny but you can see the dull look around bullnose area.
