Has anyone used Energie Ker porc tiles? Question about wax / sealing

[Stooby]

Hi,

I'm in the process of laying some Energie Ker Night White porcelain tiles. They're made in Italy, they're basically "part polished" if that's the right description... sort of a speckled/dimpled tile, with the highest parts polished and the lower parts glazed if that makes sense (not deep pits, brolly talking 0.5mm.

I'm planning to seal with Lithofin FZ - I'm not sure if the manufacturer pre-sealed them already, drops of water didn't seem to sink in when I tests, and the supplier says they need sealing.

My question is, are these likely to be waxed? I can't tell, nothing scrapes off, but then sometimes wax is really hard. ?

Any advice appreciated, thanks.

are these larpoto finish tiles?

I'm not sure what larpoto is. I've attached a pic, it's not in the best light but it shows the surface texture well... unlikely to be waxed?
