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
