I am trying to replace a plumbing fixture, a bathroom faucet. The counter is made of some sort of composite material, not one of those laminated plastic over pressboard kind, and not marble.

I was wondering, is it safe to use steel wool to remove the ring where the old faucet was? The new one is smaller...

If not, what would be good to use? (it's a green mess, the faucet was gold plate on brass and still complete junk)
