Impregnated before or after grouting.?

lithofin cement away 1:1 with water will work, but you will need to seal after (at least 24hrs later of course) as the acid will break down the original seal.

its not bad, if you know what to do!
cement away breaks down the haze and the clumps of grout, afterwards you are left with a RAW surface, hence the reseal after the water has dried out!

wear gloves, apply, leave 40-50 mins,use tool to remove stubbon bits, sponge, dilute, sponge, washboy wash, leave 24-48hrs, seal.

Job done.. and dont do it again!
clean up after yourself you messy pup! :lol::lol::lol:
