Sealant for granite(which is chipping off/spots coming out)?

Does anyone know of any sealants which can be applied over the surface of the currently laid granite (home flooring) since we notice the flooring is getting some tiny holes/specks coming off from the pattern in the stone.

* Is this sealant something which we can just buy off the shelf from a hardware store? Which brand? How much quantity should be purchased (say for 100sft application, or 500sft application)? Can it be stored and used after few months years again?
* Can it be a DIY(try on a sample slab first, with a putty blade?) since I dont need to do it for the entire place?
* Will this suffice? Is there any other solution?

Thanks

Is this because of chemical polish ? i also greatly worried as when visited couple of shops they all applying high powerful chemicals and making the granite looking appealing with various designs but emerging with lot of problems like fading ,decoloration etc. I am not sure yours problem is also because ,as natural stones are hardly to find .
