My (Great) Experience With Granite Sealer

You guys remember I just redid my kitchen island and got a new granite (honed absolute black)? I love it, but I did notice over the last few weeks that it was showing finger prints and things more than it should, and was a bit lighter than a true black. It was supposed to have been sealed at the stone fabrication yard, but I honestly didn't know what they used and didn't really know if the sales department would be reliable on that. So, I did a bunch of research and found what people seem to think is the best sealer. It is called "Color Enhancing Sealer" and is made by Ager. 
My granite before was a very grayish black. Actually, do you see the discoloration on the edge? I actually think that is a result of the fabricators doing a poor job with the sealer:

And here it is after two coats of color enhancing sealer. I have a black kitchen table, so I am thrilled that it more closely matches that now:



It definitely looks shinier now, which takes away from the honed aspect a tiny bit, but the color is closer to what I want.  And it's definitely not as shiny as polished (by the way, I still love polished granite, but it just wasn't the look I was going for here).
These photos show the before and after the best. I intentionally left this bottom right edge un-sealed because my husband is away and I wanted him to see the difference. I'll finish it up after he see it. Isn't that an amazing difference?

If you ever want to try this one, Ager Color Enhancer Sealer, you can get it on Amazon. (This is not a sponsored or endorsed post - it is just me sharing my experience).
Other thoughts: It's easy to work with, beginners can do it. It has a mild odor - not offensive at all - kind of like acetone. It only took about 5 minutes per coat. I highly recommend it.
I thought some of you might be able to use this info. If there are questions I didn't think of, send them my way and I'll try to answer.
Happy weekend everyone!
