    I never used this, however your post pricked my curiosity.
    According to Bunnings, you have to use masking tape to cover the tiles and use a small brush on the grout.
    This product seems to be one to apply all over and wipe off

    I've used shower plug before and it worked great. Not sure of its longevity though.

    Ardex ACP10 is good, but what's better is using a grout enhancer when first installing the grout, I find that works much better than anything after the fact.

    I have mostly ever used Ardex Grout Booster. Water just runs off it like a teflon pan.
