sealer on brushed absolute black granite

Kitchen countertops were installed yesterday (brushed absolute black, supposedly from Zimbabwe), and the installer used a sealer (made by Tenax - from Italy) called Sealer Ager. I have been unable to find any information regarding the performance of this product. It is a nearly clear liquid, and it did bring out the black quite nicely. Any feedback appreciated.
 

Dear Robert:

It has the reputation of being a very good product. I don't know about its resistance to acidic substances, but you will find that out real soon! J

If you have a problem with that, let me know.

Now remember, it's never too early to think about the proper maintenance of your stone. The issue of what you'll be doing day in and day out to your stone is – as it should be intuitive – vastly more important than its sealing (if and when possible and/or advisable) and it's all too often neglected. As you can tell by reading many of this site's postings, you're not likely to get good information about routine care from your dealer or installer. Don't become another statistic!
