    Default Slate question

    Hi,

    I just installed 900 sq ft of slate tile in my home, I used 511 impregnator b4 I grouted. I would like to have it shiny, can i use mira shine on it even though i have already used an impregnator?


    p.s. I know nothing about installing tile.

    My brother had a C4 VTR+ cracking car, loads of gadgets in it and very quick.

    In Contrast, Fiat, break all the time, usually something major, hope you get it sorted mate.
