What Customers Are Saying
The product provides an excellent wet look and glossy finish to concrete surfaces. It effectively enhances the color and appearance of stamped, stained, or exposed aggregate concrete. The sealer is praised for its ability to darken and deepen the concrete's hues, making the surface look brand new. While the product has a strong odor during application, most agree it is worth it for the outstanding results. The wet look finish is described as long-lasting, though it may fade after about a year in high-traffic areas.

Would RecommendThis material is much easier to apply then other products that I have tried. The product VOC's are much lower then past solvent-based materials that I have tried.

Exactly the result we were hoping for
Would RecommendI used this sealer with the Grip-Tek 250 Slip Resistant Additive to seal our stamped concrete patio. The results were even better than anticipated. The additive does lessen the gloss, but the surface is very resistive to slipping. This is exactly the result we were hoping for. The patio was poured last summer, and sealed with one coat of another sealer. The contractor used a slip resistant additive, but not enough to do a good job of sealing the concrete or making it as non slip surface.

Provides the protection
Would RecommendI ordered 2 pails of this high gloss sealer to protect our 2 year old pavers on our 1,500 sq ft driveway. The wet look that we wanted was fabulous, the pavers looked better than when the original contractor finished the installation and sealed them 2 years ago. This sealer is more expensive but without question this product provides the protection and look that is priceless.

Looks beautiful
Would RecommendUsed it to seal our back stamped concrete patio. Used a roller and the sealer went on nice and easy. We stained the patio last year and sealed it, but that sealer faded within one year. The Cryli-Tek 5505 looks like its of superior quality. Highly recommend. Even did our front entrance after staining and again looks beautiful!

Best choice
Would RecommendThought this product was my best choice to apply to my concrete paver sidewalks and it was a great choice. The Cryli-Tek 5505 made the colors really stand out and also highlighted the pattern on the surface. I used a combination of brush/roller.

Very well pleased
Would RecommendI recently purchased a 5 gallon bucket of Cryli-Tek 5505. I used it on my stamped concrete patio approximately 15 years old. I pressure washed and then allowed to dry for a few days. Once dry I applied one coat with a 9" nap roller. It was very easy to apply and I was very well pleased with the restoration of the originally color and shine. I would strongly recommend this product for sealing and restoring your stamped concrete patio. The odor is strong but for outdoor use it is not too bad and g...

Easy to apple
Would RecommendEasy to apply. Beautiful finish with two coats. Once dry it wasn't too slippery. For pavers, I found that the 1" to 1 1/4" nap worked best. 1/2" and 3/4" nap didn't fill the cracks and bevels without rolling multiple times with pressure. Splurge on the 18" roller if you are sealing a big job.

Beautiful results
Would RecommendBeautiful results! It really brought out the color of our stamped concrete, which had faded over time. Also, the gloss can't be beat.

Very pleased
Would RecommendI build a new home in Florida in 2015. The pavers on my driveway are colored and I wanted to keep them from fading. I purchased another product (won't mention the name) and sealed everything last summer. The finish lasted about 1 year or less. I decided to purchase this product. It went on much easier and the finished product looks amazing. I will have to see how it stands up in the hot Florida sun, but so far....very pleased.

Strongly recommended
Would RecommendAfter applying two coats of Cryli-Tek 5505 my patio look like new even though its been at least 15 years since its installation. I selected the 5505 because it is solvent based (will last longer) and for the high gloss wet look. It was easy to apply with a 3/8" nap roller and I did use a brush to apply between stamped stone grout lines. I researched may brands and found Ghostshield to be the most reasonable with great reviews. I would strongly recommend this to anyone.

A must have for stamped concrete
Would RecommendWe had our stamped concrete patio with a long walkway for over 10 years. We have tried many other concrete sealers over the years that works just decent. We thought they were all the same after we try many of them. This last time around, we ran out of the other concrete sealer after sealing the patio, but not the walkway. We tried the Cryli-Tek 5505 on the walkway - more expensive then the other sealer that we had in the past, but so worth the cost due to the incredible results. Previously, we p...

Top of the line
Would RecommendI have used this product before and this is top of the line. It doesn't leave turn white, it applies on smoothly and it dries evenly. I live in South Florida where the humidity is high and moisture doesn’t get trapped between the pavers.

Exceeded my expectations
Would RecommendExceeded my expectations! I applied it to my exposed aggregate concrete driveway and the Cryli-Tek 5505 made it look beautiful. It really brought out a deep, rich coloration and helped to hide any imperfections and residual stains. Application was relatively easy.

Awesome product
Would RecommendAwesome product, I was looking for a wet look sealer for my paver pool deck. My pavers were put in 2 phases, 4 years apart, and they never matched color. This Cryli-Tek 5505 darkened the pavers and made them match. I used a 9" roller to apply. It was very tedious trying to get the sealer in between the pavers so the sand filler was covered. I had about 1200sq ft and it took about 8 hours to apply (2 coats) - with the 1st coat taking about 6 hrs. Here are my lessons learned. Make sure to pressure...

So far so good
Would RecommendSo far so good! The proof will be in how long it lasts. I just did this. I'm extremely pleased with the results and hope the look lasts as long as was stated in the product. If so, then this is absolutely awesome!

Best so far
Would RecommendI've had the same stamped concrete patio for years. I have to seal it yearly (if not more often), and the water-based products are useless. This stuff has kept my patio shiny and waterproof ALL summer. The best I've found so far-- recommended.

Performing perfectly
Would RecommendIt has been a few weeks since I applied this sealer and so far it is performing perfectly. It took me a couple weeks to really do the job correctly by power washing and allowing dry time.

Easy to apply
Would RecommendI have bought this product continuously to place on my brick pavers on my large property. The product is 5 stars and is easy to apply and provides the best shine of any other product I have ever used.
