Restoring Shine In Black Granite Tiles

[aki786]

I have had black granite quartz tiles fitted in my kitchen.There was loads of dust on them and they seem very dull. I have used some grout remover which has helped a bit. When the tiles are wet they shine like they should but get dull after drying, some are ok.Is there anything someone a reccommend to me?Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
It sounds like your tiles have not been sealed, or the grout remover has also removed the seal. If you clean your tiles before using a polish sealer, such as LTP MPG sealer, this should restore a lovely shine!

What were they sealed with... are they Granite or conglomerate.

Sound as though you have grout hazed from what you describe you need a sealing and coating remover and some phosphoric acid substitute diluted that should sort it

Hello, I have black granite tile in my bathroom and the tiles came sealed. I tried to remove the water stains with vinegar and now my tiles are ruined! They have a white haze on them. Does anyone know, if this can be fixed or my tiles ruined? Help

If they are a true granite they are not ruined they can be sorted. Post some pics and I will Guide you through it.

I posted some pics. I have real stone tile. Not sure what the difference is from granite to stone.
Anyhow, if you take a look at the pics you will see splatter marks that will not go away.

This post or thread was started by someone called aki786 and was titled "Help Black Granite".

You have now posted pictures of your stone that has become damaged after you washed it with vinegar. I am sorry to tell you that you have washed what looks like a combination of Nero Marquina Marble coupled with a Cararra Marble both of which are calcium based and you have essentially washed them with vinegar which is acid so now the floor is etched.

It can be sorted but I need to know the M2 and the size of the tiles and I will try to guide you in restoring them.
