[QUOTE="MICK the Tiler, post: 66492"] I personally lay grout then seal but each to there own I think it makes more work to seal before grouting the steps I use are 1 fix 2 grout once allow to harder wipe off grout again allow to harden the wipe off this will leave the joint nice and full with no grout sinks or air pockets, allow to go cloudy and leave to following day 3 apply a wax remover and cleaner with a spray bottle for small floors or a large garden sprayer for larger floors then scrub with a polishing machine for large areas or a hand held polisher for smaller floors 4 seal tiles with the methods of application above allow to dry and give a light buff with polishing pad 5 apply a polish applied as above and final buff with polisher floor will come up like glass. Easy way of telling if porcelain is porous is to mark an off-cut with a black texture then try and rub off, if it leaves a ghosting mark willneed a good amount of impregnating sealer. I still seal all porcelain though even if it passes the black texture test. [/QUOTE]
