She called me about the problem. Located in Huntsville.

I asked her to send me photos of the problem. She noted the installers gave up on solving the problem and wanted to know if I could clean away the haze.

I will submit pictures once they have arrived.

We would like to see some pictures to know what is going on. We need to know
if tiles were sealed and if they were with what sealer, also if any chemical
were used to clean haze of the tiles.
there may be few different problems.
1. grout haze is on and right chemical has to be use to remove it.
2. absolute black should not be sealed because it dose not absorb any sealer
and it dos not react with most acids. Now if sealer were used,sealer is
reacting with acid like vinegar, lemon juice etc.. and the reaction will
appear in light whitish 'ghost' stains on that granite.
3. Absolute Black is from India or China and its 'doctored' (not a true
granite) and reacts with chemicals, acids,etc.. . And it is going back to
its natural grey color after black dye is removed.

There may be few other problems but we will need to se it.
