Porcelain tile sealer leaving greasy marks-help!!!

Hi folks,

I have just laid the black porcelain 600mm tiles from B&Q, have sealed them with Plasplugs Porcelain Tile Sealer, followed the instructions to the letter, (buffing the sealer off after 15-20 mins etc) but some of the tiles have like a greasy haze over them which won't seem to polish off :confused: It does sort of polish off but the minute you step on them there are foot or shoe marks on there again. :mad:

I did add this question to another thread but no answers so thought I'd start my own as I'm pretty desperate for some help!

I'm happy with the tiles otherwise (I know plenty of people aren't happy with thiers though...) so am soooo annoyed to have 'done as it says on the tin' only to find that they looked better unsealed! :mad:

Any ideas how to get this off please? :)

    Did you clean with something like WEXA to remove the transit wax that these tiles have

    For a sealer i would not be used plasplugs rubbish,use a product from litothin such as stain stop
