Polished Porcelain Black tiles - Hazed???

[kev_vaux]

Hi,

I have recently bought 9 packs of below.............

Polished Porcelain Tile - Floor Tiles - Tiles -Tiles & Floors - Wickes

The shiney black finish is what i am looking for as a finished result.

They seem to have some sort of wax/watermarked finish to them at the minute though.

I have tried wiping them with a cloth and it seems as though its tough to remove.

Do all Polished tiles come with this finish or are mine stained in some way?

Is there a good wat to remove/clean them?

Also what is the best cleaner/sealent for these as they will be used in a bathroom so will get water marked.

Many thanks in Advance.

Kev

There are various types of wax applied to the tiles, Transit wax its called. To stop the tiles rubbing against each other while packaged.
There are also various products available to remove this wax. Some work better than others and most fixers will have their own favourite.
I am still using a tin of Lithofin Wax Off which seems to be lasting forever but then I rarely come across transit wax at the moment.


Try Broken Link Removed for more info.
