sealing/enhancing granite stones

[figaro]

We installed black granite pebbles in the floor of a shower we are doing.

Before I could catch him, my helper used Aquamix sealers choice gold on the floor and some wall accents pre-grout.

I wanted to use (I think it's called) aquamix enrich and sealer to bring out the color.

Anyway, I went ahead and used the enrich/sealer on top of the sealers choice gold and it seemed to darken a little more still before grouting.

Now after grouting, the stones are looking dull again and I was going to hit them and the grout with enrich/sealer again.

I am wondering if there is something better I could be using in a shower at this point that would hold up better and keep the stones looking enhanced longer.

it is is black absolute it won't absorb much and sealing will be a waste,if it's something else it may work, i dunno, as far as is there a better sealer,i know there are sealers that claim to be the best, but i don't know myself.You might dab some Tenax Ager on the granite :bow:

It is not black absolute, the rocks/pebbles just look like river rock I'm calling black granite for lack of knowing what else to call them.

Well, that's a whole different game,generally most believ a solvent enhancer works better than a water based,although after using a water based a couple times the solvent based may not even do anything.

Solvent vs. water. That totally makes sense. I just went with what was suggested. Aquamix enrich-n-seal is solvent based is it not?
It's a done deal now. We'll see how well it holds up....
