I just installed a travertine backsplash for my bathroom sink. Is there a product I can get to seal it with that will give it a wet shiny look? Should I use it before or after I seal it? I bought 511 sealer, but Im wondering if I should apply something else to it before I seal it to make it look shiny?
Best answer about Sealing travertine tile so that is looks wet?
Answer by rob s
511 won t give you that shiny look. It s a great sealer but not the look you want. I ve been out of tiling for a year now and I don t remember the product you need. It s made by the same company that makes Miracle 511.The name escapes me. Check where you bought 511 ( I m guessing HD) they ll have it or know. Don t grout it yet until you seal it or you may stain the travertine..
P S When you do find that product it ll also bring out the colors in the tile so test on some spares (3/4/5tiles)1st to make sure you like the colors

Go to home depot next to the paint dept where all the cleaners are. There is a product made by ZEP -Professional wet-look Floor Finish. I applied several coats to my porcelain tiles in my shower using a microfiber cloth. You can apply one coat to your tiles…….grout……and then seal everything with this stuff.
apply some armor all on it for that shiny look
