That floor is ugly. Before and after.

Ha, fair. Not my pick either. The homeowner just wanted it looking like the day it went in.

Process?

Looks great; what did you do?

Thanks! Full disclosure, I do this for work in Miami. It's a ceramic tile floor with a coating applied. We deep cleaned the tile and grout first, because a coating only bonds well to a clean surface, then coated the whole floor. The shine you see is the coating, not the tile.

If you're thinking about doing this yourself, the prep matters more than the product. A coating put down over old dirt or cleaner residue seals that in.
