Foundation ArmorArmor AR350 Low Gloss Wet Look Concrete Sealer 5 Gallon - Professional Grade Color Enhancing Solvent Based Acrylic Sealer for Exterior Concrete and Pavers - 700 VOC

After years of sun, rain, and chlorine splash taking a toll on my stamped concrete pool patio, I decided to bring it back to life with a serious sealer. I went with the Armor AR350 because of its great reputation, and I’m so glad I did. I used the full 5-gallon container to do two coats across the stamped concrete, and I also mixed in the Armor Fine Non-Slip Additive to make sure the wet surface wouldn’t become a slip hazard — especially around the pool where bare feet and puddles are the norm.The result was everything I hoped for. The AR350 gave my patio that enhanced wet-look without the overly glossy "wet paint" shine — it made the stamped texture and color variations really pop again. The solvent smell during application is no joke (definitely wear a mask), but it flashes off quickly and is completely worth it. I applied it with a sprayer for the first coat, then back-rolled with a 3/8” nap roller for the second. The non-slip additive blended in easily and didn’t clump or cloud the finish. After it dried, the patio had a smooth satin look and just enough grit underfoot that I now feel confident walking out there even when wet.It’s been a couple months now, and the protection is holding strong. Water beads on the surface, no chalking or whitening, and it still looks freshly sealed after rainstorms and direct sun exposure. I can’t emphasize enough how much better the patio looks — it went from dull and dusty to crisp and rich-looking. If you have a stamped concrete pool deck or any decorative hardscape, this sealer paired with the non-slip additive is a winning combo. Easy to apply, pro-grade results, and no more worrying about slipping near the pool. Highly recommend!

Shipped fast and was really well packaged for shippment! Application was super simple and easy with standard roller and a broom handle attached. Followed the directions exactly and had zero issues on colored concrete pavers. Previous owner had slacked on sealing before us so the first coat that I liberally rolled on got soaked in quickly. Pic attached is that 1st coat after 24hrs. Due to the overly dried out pavers, coverage was lower than described. I got about 1300sqft single coat which is inline of their estimates. The second coat does cover better so staying on top of reapplications every 2-4 years should be easier and more cost effective. It really does improve the look of the pavers although you will see alot more white stone spots after due to where the paver color has worn off over the years. But still better looking by far! I did test a secind coat in spots which was also zero issues but not as transforming. But when it rained a few days later it was noticeable how the water beaded better. I experiance none of the cloudy, white, or yellow issues that any of the neg reviews list. And this was done in South West Florida with a SW facing driveway! I did reapply polymetric sand to all the paver joints prior with some joints at the street and side walk being 1". The polymetric sand was preset with water mist 2 days prior and with sealer it became very hard which is perfect! I have already ordered a second 5 gallons to complete a second coat without any hesitation and would highly recomend!

Ordered in March 2025 and applied it September 8th. Very easy to apply with a sprayer. Looks fantastic! 2 coats applied and I'll buy again when it's time to reseal.

I've used this sealer for a few years now on my patio. It is easy to use-for me the hardest part is finding two days in a row with no rain so you can wash the surface one day and give it 24 hours to dry before applying this sealer the next evening. It is important that you wait until the sun has set and the surface temp is below 85 degrees....hotter than that and you will get bubbles. (I have, and they pop easily and you won't notice where they were after that, so not a huge problem.)While it does "last," meaning that it's still there after a hot summer and crappy winter (I'm in NE Ohio,) I find the sealer dulls after a year. (See the pic where I've applied fresh sealer in comparison to last year's sealer.) Because it looks so amazing with a fresh coat, I do mine every spring.I simply hit the patio the day before with some Simple Green, use a surface cleaner with my cheapie electric pressure washer, and then rinse off with a wide nozzle. (You could get away with a brush and a hose.)I use an 18" roller and get great results, and I can knock the job out in an hour or so.This year I added Foundation Armor's fine anti-slip additive and it gives my patio a bit of grit to make it less slippery when wet. I just added some to the roller tray after each refill and mixed it in with a paint stick.The sealer works good. I wish it would last a little longer so I could do the job every other year, but I'm addicted to the new shiny look it gives to my patio every spring. (People are shocked to hear my patio is seven years old now!)

I had a 30' x 40' garage built and the concrete floor was continually dusty. I had considered painting or epoxy but the cost was prohibitive. I used the Foundation Armor as directed. I used a roller and it went on easy. The first coat soaked into the surface well. I let it dry for 24 hours and reapplied. The second coat covered great. It left a smooth finish and the overlap marks blended well. It left a tough hard finish after a couple days that has been resistant to scratches. I have moved in tools and equipment and haven't noticed any scratches on the floor. Oil wipes right off the surface. The concrete dust problem has been eliminated. It is easy to sweep and keep clean. Water beads up and is easy to squeegee away. The difference between the treated and untreated floor in the photo is obvious.It is a powerful product with a lot of solvents in it. You need a lot of fresh air during application. I would recommend a respirator. The only down side is it has taken nearly a month for the solvent smell to disappear. I expected this when I bought the solvent based version. I went with this product because I don't trust water based coatings.
