Re: lithofin product query

for external slate patio i wanted to enhance the colour and finish somewhere aproaching a wet look finish .the product that seems to be most appropriate seems to be stain stop plus but an alternative suggested was lithofin colour intensifier...........any suggestions what would be best in this circumstance please ??

apologies if i seem to be repeating myself but want to make sure i get this right and i am not in trade

I would recommend first remove every products you used, to remove sealer you can use Wax-off, stronger then wax - off is ''Stain away'', Stain away can remove even from porous materials (it's really strong and dangerous product - so read instruction carefully), after that let the slate dry completely, you should be able to see natural color of slate, then use color intensifier, on slate i would go 2 - 3 times > really thin, color intensifier will bring color from deep inside the stone and will impregnates it (your stone will look dark but not shiny as you want), then use ,,Slate seal,, 1-2 times, this product will give you high gloss finish
Good Luck!!!

can someone help me find a high gloss finish for external slate i have used tile doctor and lithofin but they really dont give me that wet look finish

i appreciate i will have to take off the lithofin first and was advised to use some stuff from tile doctor....if any sufggestions on that ?

Most Tile Doctor products are Aqua Mix. For external slate I reccommend Aqua Mix Enrich N Seal to give you a wet look. A high quality enhancing sealer that lasts up to 15 years.
