Rain Guard Water Sealers- Concrete Sealer, Penetrating Water Repellent Protection for All Porous Concrete Surfaces, Water-Based Silane/Siloxane Sealant, Ready to Use, 1 Gallon

Even more important than whether it protects, will it change the look of my pavers? Definitely not! I was concerned that my blocks would look shiny or darker than they did before I used the sealer. I was relieved to see that when the sealer dried, it was completely invisible, unnoticeable. I used the sealer just for the cap stones on my retaining wall and around my landscape beds. I also used it on my chimney cap. I did the chimney cap first and I used one of those cheap foam paint brushes. That was not the best way to apply it. The directions say to use a garden sprayer but I felt there would be too much overspray and I would run out of product. Instead, I used an empty spray bottle of kitchen cleaner. It was a little tiring with all that trigger pumping but I was able to lay down a nice even coat. I went over it a few times to make sure the stone was saturated pretty well. It is important to get that "second coat" on before the first one dries, overwise it will repel itself. After allowing a day for drying, I noticed as I was watering my landscaping that the water was beading off the caps pretty well. If there are few spots where it wasn't beading as well it is probably because I didn't saturate that spot enough. Bottom line: I am very happy with this sealer. My cap stone now sheds water instead of absorbing it and it look exactly the same as it did before the application. Using a hand sprayer worked great for my job but it would take forever to do an entire driveway that way!

This rain guard sealer does appear to repel the water. I have not had a chance to see how it does will oil leaks yet I will purchase more to finish up my driveway. This was very easy to spray on and does not change the look or color of your driveway . In the picture, you can see where I applied it. This was after a rain.

Worked as advertised, but I miscalculated how much I would need for two coats. Would buy this again.

Our concrete driveway is about 33 years old. Since we purchased the house 3 years ago, we have seen the driveway start to get some small cracks where it's in the sun all day so we decided to seal it. We pressure washed it the first day with water only, no cleaners, and let it dry. The next day we sprayed on 2 coats of this sealer, letting it dry about 3 hours between coats. Now when it rains, the water just beads up and runs in rivulets down to the street but it is not slippery to walk on when it's wet. It did an excellent job of sealing the concrete and we know our driveway is protected and will last for much longer than without it. It was a simple process and we'll repeat it every year or two as we feel it's needed.

My backyard is mostly shade (I'm in a forest) and the cement patio get's moss growing on it in the summer. I power wash it each spring. This past spring I decided to try this concrete sealer. On over half of the patio (it's almost the length of our mid-mod, walk-out ranch house) did much better with the sealer. I'm not sure how I'll deal with the other half next spring. And also will power-washing it in the spring take the seal off??

Living up to its sealer name!! I applied this to concrete pavers and as you can see in my photos it beads up the water. This is as an invisible layer on top! Absolute shield!I park a van on top on these pavers. These are the perfect photos below it that are wet from a major storm. The rest of them are wet from the storm but it is not penetrating the concrete!To apply just use a quality sprayer and it goes on quick. I set a timer for one hour and hit it again quickly! It could go on most likely sooner as instructions say you can but recommend the hour. The color remained the same after I applied two coats on this grey and dark blend concrete paver. Buy this deal!!!

So impressed withthis sealer. For under $20, you cannot beat it. I tried it on two small portions of my back patio cement. Was amazed to see that water from the rain actually does bead up on those two small sections. I also used it in my basement on the walls to make sure no moisture leaks in. Very happy with it.

Sprayed it on new cement couple months after pouring. Not sure if it's the sealer or cement but since cold weather arrived my sidewalk hasStarted to deamination and is gritty.Application was easy.
