what cleaner do I use before I seal my granite with black diamond granite sealer

The one I ordered is a cleaner and sealer in one. Not sure if your talking about the same thing.

I just use a mild dish soap and water, make sure it is rinsed well, then apply the Black Diamond. It is not a granite sealer but more of a polish. I don't use it that much because if you get water on it then part of the shine comes off and you have to do it again. To much work for me, so I do it when company is coming or having a party.

Black Diamond makes a cleaner. I used it daily. Comes in various sizes. I have the 32 ounce to use daily and got a one gallon refill bottle. Works great!

Hi Barbara, I use the Black Diamond Granite Cleaner. It deep cleans and makes the granite look new again and dries quickly so you can seal your granite. I have also used Granite Care Kit found at Home Depot (www.stonecare.com). It contains four bottles 1. Degreaser 2. Stone Polish 3. Disinfectant 4. Sealer. I paid under $25.00 and has worked great also. Each bottle is 8 oz. Hopefully I answered your question.

we have granite with quartz. But it was recommended to us to seal the counters beforehand. It's much easier to clean the counters now. We will put more sealer on I think every 2-3 years.

If the directions are not included with the product, there is a downloadable file at the company website. To ask the seller a question, click on the seller name, Granite Polishing Pads,(next to the item listing). I would advise you on the step-by-step process, but I've used up the densifier/sealer I purchased and I can't recall all the details. It worked well on one tabletop, but was not effective on a cheap piece of Chinese granite that appeared to have been sealed with polyurethane.

I think for tumbled marble (or travertine) you should get a sealer that is formulated for extremely porous surfaces. I have seen that type of product in my local "Home Depot". Bulletproof sealer is primarily for a polished stone surface, NOT a porous surface. A friend of mine used the sealer for porous surfaces on his tumbled marble tile and it turned out beautifully, and gave the surface a nice sheen.

I am going to say No. I installed some granite and used Bulletproof on it and it did not seem to do much but puddle up. So I believe the granite must have been sealed.

I used the product on an outdoor travitine floor. We were happy with the results. I remember when I was doing some research for myself DuPont had a website. Sorry I cannot give specific answers as to black granite.

I use Black Diamond on my wood floors. It does a great job. I can also use it on laminate but it does best on wood floors.

Sorry. I can't say. I bought it specifically to seal granite, and it did a great job. Hope someone has an answer for you.

Hello. This would be considered granite. Please review Swanstone's care and cleaning instructions, which have been listed below and can be found at http://theswancorp.com/index.php?page=care_cleaning. "We recommend you use warm water and a soft, clean cloth, sponge, or Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. You can also use a non-abrasive liquid cleaner and detergent. To remove hard water, calcium and lime use white vinegar on a paper towel and rinse after 20 minutes. To restore luster and extend time between cleanings Weiman Granite Cleaner & Polish is recommended. If you encounter staining liquids, such as dyes and vegetable juices, rinse off as soon as possible. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, metal-scouring pads and bleach or alkali cleaners, such as ammonia."

Hi John - I'm a total novice and I purchased a 4" Wet/Dry granite polishing Pad set to remove some chips we had on a travertine floors. The Pads worked great. Very pleased there are some videos on you tube that were helpful in showing how to use pads. As far as the densifier and sealer I'm not sure what products you are talking about. We don not have any marble only travertine. Sorry if this was not helpful...

After several months and several different sealer applications by the installer, which did not prevent staining, we ourselves used Stonetech and it worked great. No problem installing on granite that had had multiple sealer treatments with different products. After 1 year, it still works great.

If you have strand bamboo its very likely you have POLYURETHANE SEALANT. I have Cali Bamboo and its final coat sealant is REFFERT ACRYKIC POLYURETHANE UV ANIT-SCRATCHFINAL COAT. I use Black Diamond and get much better results then Bona

I've just gotten honed premium black granite installed on perimeter countertops and was told soap and water is best such as the Dawn comment below. But don't want it to build up but don't want a cleaner to put a shine to my desired matte finished countertops. Does this cleaner make a matte finish shiny?

I have used Black Diamond on real Oak hardwood floors and laminated floors. The label says: Use on all polyurethane finished wood floors and all brands of laminated wood floors. Have not used on Bamboo, but the tool free number on the bottle is 1-888-922-8282. Think I would give them a call. I wouldn't use anything else> LOVE this product!
