That's my thought too. We have honed black granite now - replaced shiny black granite. I much prefer it to the shiny. But even the honed granite needs to be resealed periodically.

They need resealed every few years

They never look shiny---they look dull---like there's a weird film on them.
Tips?
What have you already tried? I have black granite counter tops as well, and a quick wipe down with a bleach wipe has them shining. Using a sponge, leaves a dull look. I always thought that was just because the sponge had already been used on dirty plates or whatnot. Now you have me thinking any sponge may have that affect.
Try a bleach wipe.
Don't use bleach wipes on granite!! It can damage the sealer.

Sealer could be etched. Deep clean then reseal with Trewax stone sealer (or similar). If that does not work, they will need professional re-polishing (grinding).

Does a granite shop's services produce good results?

You can try resealing them yourself and if that doesn't work, have a granite shop come in and polish them.
