Grout haze question

[davegillfishing]

Brand new floor
So we cleaned and gave a acid bath with home run
Then clear sealed it

Next day the grout gaze was still there. After clean it looked great

Cust used some grout haze removed that seems to be working ok

It's 1000 sqft of tile so I'm looking for a better way lol

Can I put a 175 in it and buff it out or what's my best bet
Thanks

if it really is grout haze, Cobbs acid and a new black pad should do the trick.


Im guessing from your shitty photos that it's ceramic/porcelain so that weak stuff from Dupont is a waste of time.



and yes, you can try going at it dry with a Hog's Hair or maybe even a red/blue pad to see if just buffing may work

what dilution home run and what was dwell? Confirm it was not urethane grout

Yea the sun coming in from the back door was making pics fun..

It's ceramic tile..sorry

Can't confirm for sure grout but assume it was regular..homeowner bought home after it was done

I scraped with razor and got no residue or grout at all..couldn't even see where I scraped it..kind of surprised me to be honest

Dwell on home run was 10 mins or so max.

You mentioned it looked good when you finished.

Are you sure its grout haze and not sealer haze?

Probably would follow mikeys advice but then you have to reseal too

No we applied sealer by hand and nothing got on tile

Gunna scrub it with cimex a little to see if it rubs out

home run is plenty strong enough.....what was your dilutution.

Whats your SOP dilution for HR?

Don't know exactly why but I use alcaline rinse heavier the better.....also alcaline. Cleaner...very little scrubbing amd safer...
Either cobs citrus stuff or flex powder w citrus works great.......
I haven't had any serious haze problem since....
But I used to when I used the acid cleaner..

The cap
