5 Gal. Armor AR350TM Clear Wet Look Satin Sheen Solvent-Based Acrylic Concrete & Paver Sealer by Foundation Armor

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!

My driveway, sides and backyard every thing looks amazing after using armor ar350 solvent based acrylic low gloss wet look sealer

Love this stuff, it’s important to go by the direction and it works like a charm. Made my pavers shiny but not slick. Great stuff will buy again without worry

This AR350 sealer made an amazing difference in the appearance of our molded concrete pavers. I ended up putting three coats on because these are relatively porous pavers. After just the first coat the difference in appearance was astounding. It slightly darkens the paver overall and really enhances whatever colors are on them. Furthermore this product is easy to apply. Just follow the directions. As I wrote the paver's appearance was remarkably better with just one coat however no wet look was there. After the second coat the colors really popped but again no wet look. After the third coat we had it all - gorgeous pavers and the wet look. Your mileage may vary and three coats may not be needed. This product is very easy to work with. I applied it with 18" Purdy roller sleeves with 3/8" nap. Purdy rollers do in fact do a better job and yes, they are expensive. If you want to economize use a Purdy roller to apply the first coat and then switch to a less expensive alternative for subsequent coat(s). If applying the product by roller DO NOT OVER APPLY THE AMOUNT OF PRODUCT YOU'RE PUTTING DOWN. Thin coats are much better than thick coats. I used around four gallons to seal 308 sq. ft. My pavers literally drank the AR350 when I applied the first coat because of their porosity. Coats two and three required much less product per coat. I called their tech support and followed their advice for surface prep. We scrubbed the entire surface with an eco friendly industrial strength cleaner then rinsed three times. I let the surface dry for thirty six hours before applying the sealer. Clean up was nonexistent. I used each roller only once. I have never successfully cleaned roller sleeves to where they were as soft as new. Let me be clear - I am an amateur at concrete finishing who happened to have produced spectacularly good results. I simply read all of the information on AR350 and followed the advice of their tech support. I did a lot of research beforehand and found that AR350 was the top product on many of the lists produced by professional concrete finishing/refinishing experts. Would I recommend this product to others? You betcha. Two final things. I don't work for the company that produces AR350 nor was I offered any inducement to write this review. Second, they will send you a sample quantity of AR350 to try. I don't know if there is a charge for this or not. I was convinced ahead of time that this was the product I wanted so initially i ordered one gallon. Don't do that. Get the sample. AR350 is LOTS more expensive in one gallon containers.

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!)
