Re: Gloss/damage On Black Granite 12+12 Tiles


black granite like black galaxy usually isnt as dark and black naturally. they coat it with an agent that shines it up and makes it look glossier.
the cleaner you used probably removed that agent. you should test on a spare piece of granite or small area before you use a new agent on something.

you can look into something like:

as always, test a small area if you try someting like that.
