There are several additives replacing the water for grout. There is Stain Blocker, Grout Boost, Grout Maximizer and many others. I have only tried one and don't recall which one (sold at HD) but was not exactly what I expected.
The epoxy grout comes pre mixed, has to used in small amounts as it drys quickly, but once done becomes almost impervious to staining. Never cracks or chips out of the seam and lasts forever. I have a kitchen back splash I did in a home when the product first came out about 20 years ago and the last time I saw it still looked new. Also did a shower with it and that still looks new. Costs a bit more, harder to smooth and clean as installed, but once done the results are worth it.
