Tenax Ager Color Enhancing Granite Sealer, Marble Sealer, & Stone Sealer - 1/4 Liter

Our soapstone installer offered Tenax Ager as an optional color enhancer. After seeing a sample, we let them apply it, and we love the look. We bought this smaller can to see how it lasts. We've found for our use, we need to re-apply every 6 months, and have done that twice now. The can is still at least half full. As we approach the 6 month mark, our counters (a dark, "noire" variety) start to look more grey and dusty-matte than black and satin-smooth. Also, we notice that any drips of water that we don't wipe up will leave obvious spots. We can clean those up with spray and elbow grease, but it's difficult to keep the counters looking uniform and clean. As soon as we re-apply, water drips barely even show a mark when they dry, and a simple wipe easily removes that faint mark. Not everyone loves the darker satin look in soapstone--but if you want dusty grey counters, you're not reading reviews of color enhancers. We have not tried mineral oil or wax; we've just been so happy with this product. Working together, it takes about 20 minutes to re-apply to about 20 linear feet of counter. We just apply the Ager to cotton rags, and wipe it on, and once we finish that, go back over every surface with a fresh cotton rag to remove any excess, before it gets tacky. It also makes all of the small scratches disappear--you can still feel them, but they don't jump out visibly. Because soapstone is impermeable, this is just a surface treatment--it doesn't "soak" in, it's like a clear coat on a paint job, and as you use your kitchen, that layer will wear through.

We just installed chiseled edge granite in our home. This product really helped us seal the uneven edges well and gave it a much better appearance. Very easy to apply, and gives me peace of mind knowing that the investment is sealed. Very happy with the results and would recommend this product to others.

The best color enhancement in the industry! It's been 20 years since we got out of the granite business and we used this on the edges so they matched the top. We just got tile in a bathroom and the grout was much lighter than expected. Decided to give this a try and we got a darker color and made the wife happy 😁 Still pricey but it works!

I have been using Ager by Tenax for a few years now and there is no substitute. We have leathered granite in our kitchen, and it makes the colors more vivid, more rich, and protects the countertops for a good 6-9 months - and I wipe them down constantly as I cook all meals from scratch - and I maked doughs and noodles on my countertops. I also use this on my travertine tiles in our foyer and guest bath - it just protects beautifully and brings out the richness in colorful natural tile. In our guest bath we have a soft ivory travertine, which this did not darken, but brought out some pretty striations in the natural rock. This was once made in Italy, I'm not sure where it's made now, but I can't do without it. In fact, when we had another leathered granite countertop put in our coffee bar, I brough out the Ager for the countertop installers and they both said I knew my products and Ager was the best choice!

This sealer should get 10 stars! Very little instruction on can, so we found a demo on youtube. I applied with a lint free rag. This can will last us a lifetime. It goes a long way. Waited5 minutes. Then wiped it a few times to make sure there was no standing liquid anywhere. It’s not like it pools, but you just don’t want any excess. There was barely a trace of extra. Waited 1 hour for it to cure and put my stuff back on my honed granite. It has a “wet” look. Not shiny. It looks amazing and is so fast and easy! I included a pic, but it really doesn’t give the true look. The camera makes it look shiny. I have honed granite. It helped to pull out some of the natural look. Water just beads up now. Worth every dime.

This exceeded my expectations. We got granite counters when we renovated or bath. When they were installed we noticed some deep scratches. The installer came back and sanded them out. This however left the sanded areas looking dull and old. He told us that essentially there was nothing they could do about that (I knew they could but it would be too costly/labor intensive). We decided to leave it alone. I began researching online and kept seeing people suggest using a color enhancer... I went on Amazon and started looking at the products available. It had been around a year and the counter needed to be sealed anyway. This had great reviews so I decided to give it a shot. Don't get me wrong, when you look at the counter from close you can still see that it doesn't have that resin coated shine and it looks a little old. But this product made a HUGE improvement compared to what it was. From a few feet away it looks as it should. It definitely brought out the dark color and improved the shine. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a sealer and/or color enhancer and will be using this forever

Honed dark granite. We have tried many products after the initial seal of the countertops to get a bit more luster out of it, since the sealer used does no change the surface at all. The Ager does enhance, though never seems to dry out. After using the test area for awhile, the Ager finally washed off. It may be that this product should be multi coated onto virgin material I don’t know. Test first and make sure you can get it to dry before committing to the full project. We finally settled on Miracle Sealant “Seal and Enhance” which will finally dry after three days. It darkened up the stone as the Ager does, and seems to need three coats to get both a sheen and a darker color. Honed is a nice look but a bit more work to get it looking it’s best.

This granite sealer/enhancer is fantastic! I used it on our small bar sink in our living room area. It’s a rough granite that is extremely porous and stains very easily. Despite endless scrubbing and trying several methods, I could not remove the water spots. This covered them up and gave it a nice sheen. I have included before and after photos. I plan to use it on my kitchen countertops next. It was very easy to apply and certainly worth the price. I purchased 2 bottles because I wasn’t sure how much I would need for both projects but very little is actually required. I definitely recommend this product!

Although I’ve using and working with sealer a lot, and know the procedure on how to apply, this sealer made my granite countertop super sticky. Won’t recommend
