Daily cleaning of granite only requires a quick wipe down with a gentle dish soap and water. You can use the soft scrubbing side of a sponge to pick up more stubborn messes, if necessary. I was using a cleaning solution specific to granite in my every day cleaning, but found out it is not necessary.
Here is a quick tutorial for resealing your granite with products recommended by the professionals:

3. a razor blade (the secret weapon!)
Procedure for Granite Countertop Care
1. Clear the granite countertop of everything. And brush away any crumbs and debris. Create a plan of attack by visually sectioning off your granite. You will work in sections to do steps 2-4. Then repeat until the entire surface is clean.

2. Saturate a soft rag with acetone. Apply the rag soaked with acetone to a section of your granite and wipe over the entire section. For countertops, make sure you get the drop edge (and maybe underneath it); spills and drips like to hide there! The acetone will cut through the grime quickly and will clean the granite. You could skip the acetone and just use soap and water again: but this is a once-a-year deep cleaning, so I think it is worth it.
