Glass tile pool slide discoloration

Hi all,
I am looking for thoughts and suggestions regarding glass tiles haze and streaks on pool slide. I had calcium stains around pool edge and around water jets along slide, but had them treated with glass bead blasting by a professional two months ago.
The slide looks better but it still has streaks and haziness in several areas. I tried 300dx cleaner, and didn’t appreciate any change in the areas that I tried, so didn’t continue with full use/scrubbing or entire slide. Maybe I didn’t let it “dwell “ long enough but it is hot already and will reach over 100 degrees, so it will dry quickly regardless. (It was only 78 degrees in the sun this morning when I tried it).
The grout between the circular tiles is cement.
I haven’t sealed the pool tiles or slide after the bead blasting.

Any thoughts or suggestions to get the slide looking more like new?
Should I just leave it and seal it.
I remember reading in the forum, some people don’t recommend using a sealant. The slide is out of the water and gets a run of water down it once a week for routine maintenance, since kids are all grown and
out of the house.
Thanks.

Welcome to TFP.

Just leave it as is.

Something like that outdoors will never stay looking new.
