Sometimes you just need look at a tile and wonder if it is worth the time and effort involved in cleaning and buffing the tiles. ....because you just know you're going to have to acid wash the tiles afterwards.

Surely it should be easier than that

I had the same thing today. Had to grout 4.5 m2 of black Ruarbon quarry tiles ON A WALL! In anthracite!
Joints were 5-7mm. Bloody horrible to clean off.

you wouldnt seal a smooth glazed tile ..i meant the big porc ones with the rough anti slip finish these are the ones where the grout is always hard to remove ..or pitted limestone etc
