Time's Ran Out

they are from B&q ...... so probably are chinese
i only wiped them with a damp sponge and dried with a dry cloth before sealing

This could have caused uneven acceptance of the sealer - hence the patchy nature of the finished look.
BQ recommed a different sealer for their porcelain so you may have no recourse.
The open pores of this porcelain do accept dirt and should be thoroughly sealed.
My only comment would be to advise trying to put more sealer on a sample tile on the areas that have dried first to see if it accepts any more.
