Miracle Sealants High-Gloss Finish Sealer for Tile & Stone, Water-Based, Quart

I find this to be a great product on tile floors. It left a clean look to the floor. It’s not a wet look but does have a shine to it. I will add that you must take the time to prep your floors and if it appears clean and free from debris, clean another time or two. Product went down easy and dried in about an hour. For me I put 2 coats down for my desired look.

I have porcelain tile that has a fairly rough, matte finish and I was worried that sealing it would produce a surface with too much slip and too much gloss. My chief purpose in applying it was to seal grout that gets dirty too easily and is hard to clean. I contemplated just sealing the grout, but that would have been too painstaking. I will say that the finished product has slightly more gloss than I would have chosen, but I expect most people would judge the look to be better than it had been before sealing. I was hoping that after coating, the tile would give a first impression of stone as it did uncoated; but it looks much more like tile. Color variation is a little more pronounced (in a good way) and there is some gloss in bright light. Grip is just as good in bare feet and rubber soles, a little less so in socks. The product is easy to apply, being the perfect viscosity for the thickness one is aiming at. The smell is quite bearable. I was glad I chose to have the windows open during application, but it was the middle of winter when I applied it; and I closed the windows within an hour of when I was finished. In a very tightly sealed house I noticed a hint of ammonia for a day or two after coating. I'm pretty sensitive to smells and this was barely more detectable than the smell from a room or two painted with a low VOC paint. Long ago, early in my life I saw acrylic floor coating systems peel. It's been a month since I did my 2300 sf home and, so far, no hint of that happening. I am a person who suffers from incredibly high expectations, and this sealant either met or nearly met all of them. Based on my experience so far, I'd recommend it to anyone with similar needs and expectations.

Being an avid reader of comments prior to buying, here's my take on things that get mentioned: - Yes, it smells. Most good sealants will. It's not overpowering in any way, and I have a sensitive sniffer. Now, I'm only doing four 1sqft tiles at a time, so keeping it to a small amount each application will help keep the smell in check. - It does go on milky and dries clear. When I first applied, I did what the instructions said, and evened it out meticulously - that was a mistake, for my project anyways. It seemed far too matte when I did that. It wanted to be slathered on, milky spots and all to get a the glossy shine. Two very wet coats, and my tiles look amazing. Things to note: not all stone will react the same. Porous stone is best. Applying this to porcelain therefore makes no sense. As well, note the temperature and particularly the humidity, indoors and out, when applying. Yes, even when applying indoors, the outdoor humidity will absolutely have an affect on drying and reapplication time. Doing these with dew points outside in the 20's and 30's, and I was reapplying in 10 minutes, and the smell dissipated quickly. Good luck!

I used this high gloss finish on my Saltillo tile and it is so much nicer than the regular finish sealer (which I had used previously). You will need to put 2-3 coats on porous-type tile to achieve a nice finish. It’s definitely not too shiny- just a slight gloss and seems to last (more than a year…). I would definitely recommend this product.

Easy to apply. Excellent outcome on my 30+ year old marble.

Not high gloss as stated on the Amazon site. I already had a matte finish. I wanted Shiny!

You ever go to a high class place and wonder what they used to get the tile/brick floors looking like they were "wet" because they were so glossy and awesome looking? They might be using Miracle Sealant because that's what my floor looked like after I applied it. I just bought their applicators, but you can probably use any pad with that material and get the same results. But why? Theirs were inexpensive and right there and I knew they would work. Easy application. Spill on and keep pushing (or pulling) the pad in the same direction the entire time over the entire surface to apply. Wear gloves. If you are sensitive to VOC's, get a respirator (not a face mask, a full face respirator with OV (organic vapor) filters - might run $150+; worth it and reusable if you are sensitive). The stuff is low VOC, but if you are in an enclosed area, it gets to 'ya after 10 minutes even with a window/fan. I did two applications. I thought about three, but after two the floor looked so glossy-wet, that I figured I'd see nothing but glossy-reflection if I applied a 3rd coat. Pretty amazing. I used about 1/2 of the bottle on 120 Square feet of unglazed porcelain tiles to do 2 coats (so really, 240 square feet)- that is about 33% more tile coverage than the label said! I'm sure other tiles/brick would have sucked up more, though and put it right at what the label said - about 360 square feet covered. Fantastic product to truly get that "ritzy" feeling for your tile! Now, you know this one works and your search might end!

Sealant is defective and turns white when water touches the floor. I will now have to scrape it off and restart the process with a different product.
