Sealer and Coating Remover

Finally. Something that removes acrylic polymer sealer from tile. My tile was sealed about 8 years ago and the acrylic sealer did a good job for about 6 years, but then started to soften and discolor. It became a dirt magnet, and I had tried four other products trying to remove it. So far the only thing that worked was Quik Strip, but that required a solvent to clean up and smelled awful. I kept looking for a water based stripper and finally found this product. A small amount goes a long way, the product is a very viscous gel that spreads easily. Read the directions and work in small areas at a time. The directions said to leave the product on for an hour, but it only took ten minutes to remove multiple layers of acrylic polymer from my tile. Was easy to clean up by spraying with a bit of water and then wiping with an old towel. After that, I steam mopped and all the residue was gone. There is some odor, but not overwhelming. Easy to manage with a fan or just an open window. Would definitely but again.

Read lower for an easier solution! So I sealed my grout and didn't wipe off access as I worked resulting in grout sealer drying on tile near grout lines. What to do- tried scrubbing, Oxi clean, and all cleaning agents. Nothing. Search to find this item. It took a VERY long time~5-6 hrs to do on my 600 ft^2 area. It smelled horrible even with charcoal mask on and I had all windows and doors open. It did work but missed some areas bc it was dark. I had to wash the floor three times. The directions not that clear What worked 1) spread a thin film spreading with heavy duty glove or sponge 2) wait 15 min 3) scrub with blue nylon brush 4) wipe off excess 5) wash floor with soapy water 6) wash again and let dry 7) mine needed a 3rd wash to help dissipate the smell 8) put small bowls with small amount of pet odor absorbing spray to help absorb the horrible smell overnight (also works with paint smells) 9) takes 2 days to get rid of smell entirely 10) ReSeal after 48 hrs this time remembering to wipe off excess I found a better method that doesn't require resealibg! 1) buy Grill Stone ( yes the one for the grill also sold on Amazon or Lowe's) 2) wet dried sealer in tile just barley so it's d amp but not soaking wet 3) scrub with grill stone in circular motion (grill stone will get smaller) 4) sweet or vacuum up left over grill stone 5) wipe with damp microfiber or cotton towel 6) no sign of sealer and now you don't need to resell See pictures for actual results. This would have saved me hours!

I used this product on my pool hot tub. It has mosaic tiles. It was recently retiled. They put a coating of sealant over the whole surface. Eventually it started peeling off and looked ugly. I initially used a wire brush to get rid of it. But didn’t remove it all. This product is great and easy to apply It works as advertised. It removed all the grout sealer which had bubbled up with minimum effort.

The container in the picture appears to be a gallon but it is much smaller, maybe a quart. The product does not remove sealer. It does clean the existing sealer and floor. I followed directions, scrubbed after applying, rinse well. The cost for this little container is very high. Very high. There are other products on the market that will do a better job at a lower cost. I do not recommend this product.

Seller (2 stars) Per the mfg, the product expires on May 5, 2025 (rcvd 2/26/25). The seal is worn and there is an odor of the product. I expect a new product for $45; even the bar code is crossed out. I'm returning due to defects. I did buy from another seller. see below comments on product. Product review (4 stars): Aqua Mix has a very friendly and knowledgeable customer service department. I would contact them for questions. I used this on porcelain. This may not be a 1 and done. Once the shower is used and it dries the film was still there, less but remained. After several applications, little by little it was drying clear. To remove remaining film, I dry scrubbed with a drill scrubber. I finally was able to remove it. I'm very happy with the results. Attached is a midway through and an after with the new flooring.

I used this to help with haze & excess grout. Within minutes it worked like a charm. It's a clear somewhat viscous liquid. I would say it's between a gel and a liquid. Maybe about the same consistency as liquid hand soap. I poured it straight on the tile used an Home Depot brand HDX scrub brush to scrub & spread it around. Then I used a pumice stone with a fine grit to get up the rest. Didn't take much elbow grease with how strong this stuff is! That being said, definitely use in a well ventilated space. This stuff smells like you're losing brain cells. Also either double up gloves or wear heavy duty gloves. I used those regular (nitrile?) gloves and I noticed a burning sensation on my finger after a while. I thought it was in my head until the tip of my glove fell off! If you're using standard gloves, double up & change regularly. These are the pumice stones I used if anyone wants to get them: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CCZJ86H?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

The product information lists this as 3785 milliliters which is a gallon. Thought I was getting a decent price for a gallon. What was delivered was a quart so price was not all that great! For this false advertising I gave it 2 stars. I used this to remove some sealer from my stamped concrete (water based sealer that I applied a bit too heavy in some areas and had a white haze and wanted to remove and re-seal). It worked, but it took some trial and error. Do a small area at a time (I did a stamped square or 2 only). Shade - not sun. brush it on with a small paintbrush and let it sit for several minutes (at least 5). Do not let it dry. Scrub with a scrub brush (gooey sticky mess). Wipe up with a damp cloth (more gooey sticky mess). May need to repeat. Do not attempt to remove with power washer (does not work, but you can power wash when done). This takes patience and time, but it will remove water based sealer on stamped concrete. Good luck.

Slow working apply multiple times before it starts working
