Seal & Enhance

So I recently built (am still building) a house which included a cement tile backsplash for the kitchen. It's such beautiful tile and I it, but sadly after it was installed the dark (truffle) grout had stained the beautiful porous tiles and it looked not nearly as beautiful as it should have. After doing some research I discovered that others had fixed this problem by first applying Lemi Shine Detergent Booster (you can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/Lemi-Shine-Detergent-Booster-Ounce/dp/B00KOC6KEE) and following up with this product by Miracle Sealants.1 bottle of the Lemi Shine applied (with a large sponge) twice with vigorous and enthusiastic strength (and immediate rinsing of each area) removed all the nasty grout stains from my beautiful tile. As was to be expected though, this left the tile looking washed out, faded, and really dull. I allowed the tile to dry for a week, I'm not sure this was necessary, but the tile is porous and I wasn't taking any more chances.I then applied Miracle Sealants 511 Seal & Enhance Color & Gloss Enhancers. I applied two very thin coats of this, following the instructions provided and my tile gleams more beautifully now than when it was brand new on the display shelf. The colors are revived and brilliant! The design pops! It is not "shiny" at all. From a short distance it looks matte, and right up close it has a light satin finish, but from either vantage it looks amazing! I am so thrilled to have found this amazing product! It saved my kitchen design and my beautiful tile backsplash. I could not recommend this more highly!

I've used Miracle sealer before and was very happy with the performance of the product. I have used it on several projects over the years and it keeps the stone product looking new. I will continue to use it whenever I need a solid product for sealing stone.

I love how this product oversimplified the work, and advertises itself as a "one step" product, I just have to laugh at that one. If you've done any kind of tile work in your entire life you know this is a big fat hairy lie. LOL. Still...nice try whoever wrote up your product description.I resealed our two-person slate shower with this, which entailed me scrubbing all of my tiles on my hands and knees to make sure that they were clean, waiting a few days for it to dry, then applying this product, then wiping it off, waiting a day, then wiping this product on again, and wiping it off again.You know, a simple one-step process that took many hours of back-breaking work. LOL.I will have to say that this product provides a very slight sheen but not overly glossy which is exactly what my wife and I wanted. The nuances and coppery colors of the slate really pop out now and my wife says the shower has never looked more beautiful since we have owned it in 2008 (when I had simply used a well-known sealer back then).Applying this product I simply used a wide paint brush, and to wipe it off I use strips of an old white towel. This product definitely has a caustic smell to it, but it is not nearly as bad as different product that I have had some experience with 2 years ago. The OTHER product was horrendous and smelled like turpentine and old feet. This product did not have that "old feet" smell, but you are still going to want to use this in a well ventilated area as it is rather turpintine-like.I would definitely use this product again, and is all I would ever use in the future. The results are simply phenomenal.

Worked 95%! This got rid of the clr marks on my dark granite. Fir the most part. It didn’t get rid of all of the etching though. Still looks better than it did before.

Great results, easy to use. Fast delivery.

So... I had purchased this sealer, tried it on a sample piece of granite, and returned it because it did NOT enhance the color of my stone as advertised or as much as compared to the Tenax Hydrex my installer had used on our new countertop. Boy was I wrong, and I feel so stupid after purchasing this again and running a test.Our granite countertop installer used Tenax Hydrex on our countertop upon installation, and they recommended its use every 6 months. It looked BEAUTIFUL immediately upon installation as it enhanced the color of the new polished granite. And the online reviews with tests and home testing and such for both the Tenax Hydrex and Tenax Proseal were so positive, so I ordered the Tenax Proseal AND the Tenax Hydrex at a much higher price than other (domestic US) brands. After running a test on Tenax Proseal and Tenax Hydrex and Micracle Sealant "511 Seal & Enhance" (from Rustoleum), I really regretted my purchase of the foreign brand. I sealed a piece of sample granite of the same type as my countertop (from my installer) EXACTLY as instructed by each manufacturer. I also waited the required 24 hours to let each sealant fully cure. I then applied a large drop of red wine and a large drop of coffee to each of the sealant protected granite and let the stuff sit for 3 hours. See the first photo showing the stains applied: left stains are on the Tenax Proseal; middle stains are on the Miracle Sealant (Rustoleum) 511 Seal & Enhance; right most stains are on the Tenax Hydrex.After 3 hours, I wiped off and cleaned off the staining liquids. See the 2nd photo. The best performing was the 511 Seal & Enhance from Rustoleum with no visible stain whatsoever (middle section of 2nd photo). The next best was the Tenax Proseal with just a very faint pinkish hue where the wine spot was placed (left most part of the test sample in photo 2) -- the wine stain on the Proseal section was barely visible in person, not sure if it's even visible in the photo, but I could see it under bright light only. The worst was Tenax Hydrex (right most in photo 2): There was a pink stain from the wine very visible in person, and although faint in the photo, still visible nevertheless. I'm no longer using the Tenax stuff... It turns out that I should have stuck to the trusty Rustoleum company that I grew up with.All three sealants I tested successfully repelled the coffee stain -- nothing visible from the coffee on any of the three sealed sections.

Have used 511 for 12 years. Great product. Strongly recommend! You will love it
