Good question. We use impregnating sealers all the time. But always feel we are running a risk with topical sealers that they will fail. Specifically we use topical sealers on concrete, terrazzo, sometimes tile cover (Aldon) on locker room tiles or special situations. Of course terra cotta. Have had problems with slate. Used to use on marble but not any more. A substantial part of our business seems to be correcting problems that sealers have caused. Recently got paid a fair amount removing stone-lok, as one example, and a horrible sealing job that eventually clouded up on some travertine, as another. So I am wondering what applications are justifiable for various sealers.
