The active ingredient in Ranex is Phosphoric Acid which is a weak acid. It’s possible that it’s damaged the laminex but not likely. As it’s an acid you should be able to remove it with a base such as Sugar Soap. If that dousn’t work Mr Sheen is worth a try, as it might help hide any damage that may have occurred
No it can’t be removed as the phosphoric acid in the RANEX has corroded the laminex. I suggest a new bench top or a new husband.
