Mix a batch of grout to complement the tile ( keeping in mind that darker grout won’t look dirty as soon as lighter grout). Apply the grout to the grout line areas with a grout float.
Let the grout dry until a light film is created on the countertop surface, then wipe the excess grout off with a
sponge and warm, clean water. See grout manufacturer's instructions on drying tiles and polishing.
Run a bead of clear silicone caulk along the joint between the backsplash and the wall. Install your sink and faucet after the grout has dried ( and before you use the sink, if possible).
Wait at least one week and then seal the grout lines with a penetrating grout sealer. This is important to do. Sealing the tiles themselves is not a good idea unless you are using unglazed tiles ( a poor choice for countertops, however).
