Customer Reviews for Miracle Sealants 32 oz. 511 Impregnator Penetrating Sealer

I just finished install tile bathroom with beautiful Capri Blue 4 in. x 12 in. Honed Marble Floor and Wall Tile (2 sq. ft./Case) from Home Depot last week after I applied a thin coat of sealant all tiles changed color from white,Blue gray to old yellow tile. Beware to use this product with white Blue tone.

I scrubbed my grout then resealed it with impregnate sealer and it looks wonderful

This product ruined my entire backsplash. After applying it per the directions, the next morning I woke up to a backsplash that was irreparably damaged due to bright yellow staining. DO NOT USE ON ALASKA GRAY TILES (sold at Home Depot)

I've been a atone and tile expert for over 2 decades. I am often hired to figure out the issues of a surface and resolve them. I am also an expert consultation who has provided expert witness testimony services. This is one of the worst products (next to crystallizers and waxes) that people and installers commonly use and it costs so much for people as it requires to be stripped it off and refinishing the surfaces that are able to be resurfaced.

I followed the instruction carefully. It’s been 2 months since we applied the product and the grout looks yellow and not white anymore. We don't ever use this particular bathroom (guest bath). This is a brand new house… How do we remove the yellow stain on our grout?

This product will dramatically change the color of your stone. Please see the attached image. I'm not sure why they say that it will not alter the natural look. This is Picasso ledger panel from MSI Products. This is one coat. The Picasso ledger panel is travertine stone. This totally changed the color to something not even close to the original. Not what I wanted...

After applying this sealer to my backsplash, it turned it all yellow after a few day. Very disappointed in this product :(

Just sealed a porcelain, sanded grout and concrete coping back yard. The installer clearly missed some areas but this makes for a great “a vs b” review. As you can see in the picture pool splashes bubble up in the treated areas and just absorb in the untreated concrete areas. I wasn’t sure this would penetrate the porcelain tiles but it did fantastic there so far. The tiles needed a little wipe down 20 minutes after application and now they are also repelling water.

I followed the instructions exactly. Tried a test area, it was fine. Applied, buffed off. There was a haze. Reapplied. Buffed. Reapplied, buffed, MANY times and still this white haze. Help!

I have brand new quartzite countertop. It is ocean blue color.,and after I applied the 511 impregnator sealer on it turns 4/5 my countertop color into brown. Please give me instructions how to remove the brown color. Thank you! Pics. Attached.

Read all the reviews and prepped my patio tile accordingly. Applied 511 and buffed per the instructions. It lasted about a week, had full bead water sheeting. Now with continued rain, it wore off. Won't be using this product again.

This stuff works great! I sanded and painted my kitchen table white. One coat of this and I’m able to wipe my table clean without taking the paint off!

I bought this sealer along with some mosaic stacked stone sheets at home depot for a renovation of my kitchen and thankfully I applied this to a small sunswt of tiles before putting them in place becauzs they quickly thrned the tiles yellow

I used this for 400sqft tile project and it has worked excellent to keep our grout sealed and cleanable. This is a lot of product, I will also use it to seal our granite countertops and will still have plenty left over.

It says Sealer because it’s NOT just for grout. I sealed both tiled bathroom floors - ALL OF THE FLOOR. 2 coats. Did the water test- beaded up nicely. I also sealed my tiled shower stall floor- also beaded up nicely. But more importantly, it didn’t make the floor slippery!!

The best sealer for natural stone or grout. Wear a respirator to avoid headaches.

I used this sealer and tested it if can withstand stains , it did . I applied food color and dye after I cured the sealer and kept it for 24 hours Next day just cleaned it with water and cleaned it effortlessly . I would recommend Any one this product if you want to protect your tiles and grout from any spills .

Very easy to use. Did a beautiful job on my new tile counter tops. Easy clean up. On container goes a long way.

I know it has been a long time since I used this product (about 10 years) and I have tried everything to remove the sealer. I finally found a product that will work, and it is going to take a lot of work. I would not normally write a negative review after this long, but they indicate it will not yellow. Well mine did and it looks horrible. The eight years that it looked good is not worth the time and effort it will take to fix it.

Dries and looks natural.

Easy to apply. Dries fast.

Used this on my grout joints in my new porcelain shower project. Most experts said that the porcelain tiles themselves don't need to be sealed and since this product is so expensive I wanted to come up with a way not to waste it by covering the tiles as I did the grout joints. I ended up using a sponge type paint brush that fit perfect in my grout joints and then just wiped off any excess that got on the tile. Gave it 2 applications. Very happy with the product.

Easy to use. Excellent product for porous stone and grout.

Sealer went on easy. Two coats sealed the travertine tile in my shower, floor and backsplash very well. I recommend you buy an applicator pad and tray to make the job go quickly.

Sealer worked great, you see the water beads right off the tile and is non slippery. It resembles a wax on a car. I sprayed all the walls and the floor prior to using the shower.

Just applied this last night, so not sure how good it is. This review is for what NOT to do. Instructions say you can use a paint brush. DON'T even think about it. After doing about 25 sq. ft. of my shower wall, the hairs on the brush just started disintegrating. Not sure of the material. Nylon? Here's a photo. They came out one at a time and in clumps. Then I had to find them all before doing the floor. Changed to a sponge and that worked OK. Use with adequate ventilation. This stuff stinks to hi heaven.

Awesome product! Easy to work with..

This is the best sealer I've ever used. I recently just finished a project using natural stone mosaic tile. First time I sealed the fireplace tiles with it before grouting and everything went well. Wipedown went smooth as silk. Next I did the backsplash in the kitchen with the same natural stone mosaic tile and didn't seal before grouting because the grout was white and wouldn't stain. Big mistake. The grout didn't stain, but the in sealed tile sucked all the moisture out of the grout making it hard to get into the joints. Then the wipedown was harder to do because the group adhered to the face of the tile. Lesson learned. Always seal stone before grouting. Use 511 Impregnator Penetrating Sealer and you'll be glad you did.

We own a detail finishing construction company. We use this product for all of our new home owner sealant calls. I used it in my own home a year ago and the floors are still being protected. Adds shine, prevents dirt from grinding in, and you do not have to mop as often.

I used 511 to seal all the grout in my large shower. It installs easily with a small tinning brush from the plumbing dept. I tried one of those plastic roller bottles but it was difficult to control the flow and made a mess. I put two coats on all the grout on the large highly polished walls and the mosaic floors. You have to pay attention to the product drying on the polished tile; you have to wipe and polish with a clean towel. If 511 drys o n the surface a little liquid on your towel will remove it. The mosaic does not show any surface drying issue even though I really flooded the floor to keep my hard water from staining. The 32 oz bottle did the shower with 17 feet of wall and a 6X7 mosaic floor with some left over for my other baths. I will do my plank tile kitchen floor too to keep the grout from staining
