So wait is the tile honed or polished????? If it is honed use honing powder and be done with it. If it's polished hit it with a hogs pair and a pinch of mb-12 There should have been no reason that color enhancer belongs on polished stone imho. Color enhancers are even more difficult to remove the excess when applying than regular penetrating sealers you really have to get it off the surface. Any how powder either way quick cost effective Good Luck --- On Thu, 1/22/09, zev@stonerestorationplus.com <zev@stonerestorationplus.com> wrote: > From: zev@stonerestorationplus.com <zev@stonerestorationplus.com> > Subject: RE: [sccpartners] Color enhancer sealer > To: "Restoration and Maintenance" <sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com> > Date: Thursday, January 22, 2009, 3:58 PM > It was applied with a sprayer when the grout was still wet. > If I use > acetone or a heavy duty alkaline stripper will that remove > the shine. > > On 1/22/09, Marble Maestro <777-7797@videotron.ca> > wrote: > > Yes it does, tremendously > > > > I use Stone Tech here in Montreal. > > > > Is there any way you can get step by step instructions > of what was done? > > > > Who was the original applicator?
