    Default 600x300 Polished Black Porcelain wall tiles

    After some advice about the afore mention tiles,this being the first time i have come across them.Went to this job blind today so didnt know what to expect,so just had to get on and start tiling(did 3 walls but only from the floor up to 1m high)
    Can anybody lead me through the process/which sealers required?

    Use grimex to thoroughly clean and remove any transit wax then, seal with LTP Mpg, here's a link LTP Online | Product Basket

    Some do, some don't but just as easy to take it for granted that it has a wax then you know it's been cleaned..

    Just an update to these polished porcelain tiles....started tiling this morning and 13 out of 15 had scratches on.So had to drag the customer away from work,travel 10miles to the tile shop and sort thru 80 tiles to get 20 unscratched tiles that i needed.Bet you somebody else gets them though!

    Tile shop told the customer that they were already nano polished(what ever that means)and that if i put anything on them it would ruin them!!!...true or false??
