Hi, I'm after advice please on the correct/best products to use, and the right order to apply.

New polished porcelain (not b&q!) ivory 400 x 400 floor tile (laid in kitchen/diner, with a bathroom & utility room to follow).

Fixed with keraquick mixed with latex plus but not grouted yet, will be done with ultracolor plus jasmin (timber floors everywhere)

This is a BCT tile made in italy which seems to have a protective transit waxy/greasy/smeary coating on. No info/instructions on the box.

I have took an offcut and cleaned with a kitchen scouring pad and this seemed to lift the coating off quite readily leaving nice polished surface.
I left some water on top for hours, not quickly absorbed. I live in a hardwater area and could see a watermark after leaving overnight.

So to get to the point (s)

What's the best (& most economical) product for me to clean with assuming I do need to do this and that my product isn't already sealed.

Should I grout before or after cleaning?

What's the best (& most economical) product to seal with assuming I need to do so?

Thank you, Lisa
