    Default Wax? Oil? Tiles?

    I recently laid underfloor heating in my conservatory. Have tiled it with black 13" square tiles and used grey/light grey grout. All went well and looks good. But it looks a lot better when I wash the floor and gives it a shine.

    Is there some treatment I can use to make them look like this all the time?
    A bloke at work said about an oil but I should have used it before grouting?

    Thanks in advance for some help.

    Regards
    WTS
