Sealing polished porcelain ?

[DHTiling]

This from MPG pdf..

Over applied and un-buffed sealer will dry and leave a
greasy residue on the surface. To remove, apply white spirit or a little more sealer and then buff
immediately.

Thanks for that, out of interest, would that machine be any good, as it is quite a large area.

I have looked at that machine.. but if you look on ebay there are larger 15 inch machines that will buff it in a crack.. it is hard work hence why i am looking for a nice buffer.

Yeah I would get one if it would do a better job/quicker job. I believe it will need sealed every year so would be worth it. Next question, what if the wax is on it?

on the plus side, you will have arms like popeye at the end of this..

I would use Aquamix Sealer & coating remover..this will remove the sealer and any wax thats on the tile. You will need a rotary scrubber and a wet vac really to do an area this size. www.tradetiler.co.uk a forum sponsor sells this it is in the sealer section on his web site in the problem solving section.

MPG is an impregnating sealer, it won't need resealing that frequently, I normally recommend every 3 years.

Sounds a little bit like maybe he has not removed the wax correctly before sealing. If this is the case topps tiles do a product called fila stonestripper which will remove seal and wax. Fila also do a polished porcelain sealer. Polished sealer should only be a one off application.
