First you need to determine why you want it waxed. Do you want to add shine, or is your intention to protect it? If protection is your main concern, I would recommend applying a silicone impregnator over a wax. If you want to increase the shine, you need to choose a wax designed to withstand UV light.

TIP Most quarry tile has a rough finish and placing any type of wax coating on it will only increase the maintenance required. There are however several manufacturers that produce a coating specially designed for quarry tile. Check with your local tile shop or several of the vendors in the resource directory at the end of this book.
