How to bring out the colour of Quarry tiles

[Katethemate]

I just laid some quarry tiles in a fireplace area. They are brand new and not dirty as such but they now just need a buff up to finish them off. Can someone recommend a product to bring out the colour and add a bit of shine?

Someone suggested turps and linseed oil 50/50 but thought I would check here first.

Thanks in advance.

ps The fire is not a working one.

yep who ever suggested it was spot on..

50:50
white spirits:boiled linseed oil..
make sure you clean tiles then let them dry out.
apply first coat let dry, anywhere up to 36hrs depends on how thick you put in on..then best to grout, again wait 24/36hrs,..then apply a 2nd coat of the mix.

takes me back a bit that..

thanks tictic. Would you recommend I use a cloth or a brush?

the linseed oil / white spirit works fine - but for a quicker job I always use this:

does the same job but only need to wait half hour before applying second coat
