Schubert,
Porcelain tile will not absorb any sealer, therefore there was NO should have been used. From the name TILE LAB GLOSS RESTORER I would guess this sealer has a topical residue that stays on top of the tile giving it the gloss look.
I would recommend calling TILE LAB and ask them what to use to remove the sealer. if they have no answer I would start with a good alkaline base stripper, if that does not work you may want to try a product from Bedco Chemical call AX It .
They is no way to successfully diamond hone porcelain tiles, there are some tile polished on the market you can try but do not promise you can restore the porcelain tiles. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE DIAMONDS ON THESE TILES !!!

Hello partners

The sealer used was. TILE LAB GLOSS SEALER...
