Put grout sealer on tile and it ran and streaked the tile what do you do?
If you have a Dremel with a very fine grit attachment, you can buff the tile with it. I would test the attachment on an inconspicuous place first to make sure it does not damage the tile. Good luck!
Good advice!, and as you try to buff the surface to restore the original appearance you may want to consider valve grinding compound available at auto supply places. Look at the sealer you used and if it cautions not to expose that product to metals or glass --- Throw It Out! Then use the correct sealing product. Buy one that gives a 15 year warranty for waterproofing and doesn't etch a tile surface.

Woven carpet formed its own backing as it was made, so there was no secondary backing
Tufting started in the 50's (pattented in the 40s) and it uses a Primary backing to tuft the yarn through & the a secondary backing is laminated to give it dimensional stablility.
In the case of Tufted carpet (96% or total production today) both the Primary & secondary was Jute (think burlap bags, HEMP!) up through the mid 60s
Today Both the primary & secondary are different weaves of Polyropylene..
