Grout Boost-Opinion Needed

We had a white subway tile backsplash installed today, and they are coming back tomorrow to grout (white grout). The plan is to use Grout Boost. Any thoughts?

Use »www.spectralock.com/ Spectra lock and make it stain proof. Not just resistant. I've used it on backslash tile in kitchen, looks the same as I installed it. Not even tomato can stain it. It does cost a bit. But if you never want to deal with stains it is well worth it.

Grout by itself is little more than colored portland cement ( plus sand, sometimes). You can get grout with additives called "epoxy" such as spectralock, or you can add a latex emulsion to the grout, such as Grout Boost. You then get something a little like latex paint. Foods will attack it. (Spent part of the afternoon regrouting.)
