Armor SX5000 WB Natural-Look Penetrating Water-Based Silane Siloxane Concrete Sealer for Concrete, Brick, Pavers, and Natural Stone - 5 Gallon

Applied to large concrete dock and seawall in south florida. Pressure washed with commercial grade equipment 2 days before application w a 2gallon plastic sprayer made for gardening. Very, very easy application. Very very easy clean up.3 dry days later, water beading off the seawall and dock beautifully. No change to appearance of the concrete whatsoever. Very pleased so far.Highly recommend this product. Will update this review once I see this sealer get abused by florida sun, water and salt for a while.

This is a phenomenal product! I've used other stone and brick sealers in the past but none have compared to this. I expected to apply multiple coats but after just one application, water is beading up on the stone patio and our brick stairs. When wet, the surface is not slippery. It went on easy, we just used a roller rather than garden sprayer. Good coverage and it just has a very slight sheen. Will buy again, but mfr says it will last 2-3 years unlike the home center brands I bought before. Worth every penny!

Great product. Easy to apply. Easy clean up (soap & water). I applied it to a 1,350 square foot section of concrete that was installed in September 2024. I had the concrete pressure washed (I hired that out - he did a good job) 1 day before product application - which I did myself. I'm 76 years old and it was an easy job. I used a garden sprayer set with the spray pattern as wide as possible...at 80 degrees and 55% humidity...on a sunny (but overcast) day...in 8' square sections. It was drying by the time I got to the end of my run so I had to get it recoated pretty fast. I bought 3 five gallon pails and ended up using 9 gallons in total...so I got pretty good coverage in my opinion. It's too early to tell how well it will work - I'll update this review later when I know for sure. This stuff is EXPENSIVE - but all of the good concrete sealers are - so this brand is fairly priced. All things considered, I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product.

I have a 20 year old house with a long, steep driveway. Unfortunately previous owners used chemical de-icers on the concrete which resulted in a fair amount of spalling (aka scaling). I received a credit to replace the driveway but I wanted to put that off for a few years but I also wanted to slow the process down so I did some research and found that this type of sealer was by far the best and lasted the longest. My home inspector suggested a commercially available sealer that you can find at any big box home improvement store but the reviews on it, and others like it, weren't encouraging (he suggested Thompson's).I got a five gallon container which proved to be just enough to coat my driveway down to the street. I mixed it up a bit by rolling it and turning it upside down in case any of the ingredients separated during storage. I really liked that the container includes a pull out pouring spout; it was a dripless experience.I used a common two gallon pump sprayer that I use for gardening work. The sealer is white but goes on clear. The consistency is much like water so it was dispersed by my sprayer without any problem. Applying it couldn't have been easier and I was able to lay down all five gallons in about 30-40 minutes.Before using this sealer I tested a section of the driveway by pouring a cup of water on the surface. Virtually all of the water was absorbed by the concrete. I had some runoff but I think it was just because I was pouring faster than the concrete could absorb it. A day after I applied the sealer I repeated the test on the same spot and didn't have any absorption. I was surprised and repeated the test a few more times in other areas and got the same results. Will it still do that seven to ten years from now? I have no idea but I have no doubt that it will significantly slow down the spalling that I'm seeing in my driveway because the water can't penetrate, then freeze, then thaw the concrete and cause it to break apart.I need to point out that for the most part you'd never know that I put a sealer on the driveway. However, I do have some dark spots. These are mostly along the contraction/control joints. It looks OK but it is noticeable.

This product does an absolutely amazing job at sealing concrete. Our driveway is aging, but after a proper power washing and applying this, it looks new again. Application is straightforward and easy. The directions are clear and when applied correctly, the concrete is basically waterproof. We are in a heavily wooded area so we get tons of sticks, twigs, leaves and other natural debris that degrades into the small pieces inviting other growth on the drive constantly. Naturally, it adheres to the concrete and darkens it over time. With this, the stuff washes off with a hose and the water runs off of it. We couldn't be happier with this product! We've tried 3 other products over the decades we've lived here, but this is the one that works!
