Polishing Tile How?

[perrydel]

Hi,
We have put new ceramic non porous glazed tile in our kitchen. It has a matte, no shine finish. We would like to have more of a gloss shine on it. We're looking for a polish that can be safely used on the tile that will add a nice glossy shine and will not yellow over time. Does anyone have any suggestions. We've considered simonize paste wax , but not certain if it will gradually yellow or not. We also considered car polish. So far, we have not found a product specifically for this purpose. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The problem with this one is adhesion to the tiles. However, Polyvine do a Lacquer and a Varnish (Water based, so no yellowing). Polyvine Lacquer is an ultra tough, high quality, acrylic sandable coating with a semi-gloss finish.

Lacquer is specially formulated to bond to a wide range of surfaces. Wood, metal laminate glass. Polyvine Varnish is a revolutionary clear acrylic coating for protecting decorating materials.

So what i would do is do a tester on spare tiles and leave for 3 months (leave them in the kitchen) and test adhesion etc........also if you want to contact them yourself then click on link http://www.polyvine.co.uk/index.asp
