What Customers Are Saying
The product is easy to apply and dries quickly to a clear, natural finish that does not change the concrete's appearance.

The sealer is durable and long-lasting, with claims of up to 10 years of protection, though it is more expensive than some alternatives. Overall, the product is highly recommended for its quality and performance.

Application
Very easy to spray on pavers. For concrete porches, that don’t have the same porous surface, I would spray and follow up quickly with a roller. I noticed a natural color pop in my pavers a few days after applying. Rained about 72 hours after application and it did bead quite nicely.

Ben & Jerry's Burlington VT,
Product was easy to work with and looked nice when finished

Worthwhile
applied the 8500 to the top of our new garage foundation block course a week before the cold & snow arrived, we wanted to seal the top as our framers would not be here for a couple more weeks, cleared off the melting snow and the water was beaded up and easy to use the blower on, will be purchasing more 8500 for a couple of other projects, thanks GHOSTSHIELD

Too early to tell
8500 has only been down a couple of weeks and hasn't rained much, so jury is still out.

Ghostshield review
I seal the patio every four years . Siloxa 8500 does the job. It is the only sealer I have tried so nothingto compare to. I would get the 8505 but it is a bit expensive.
From Ghostshield Concrete Sealers
Easy to use
Used the 8500 sealer on my driveway and porches and couldn’t be any happier with the results.
