Ratings & Reviews for Ghostshield Siloxa-Tek 8500 Penetrating Water and Salt Repellent Water-based Flat Ready-to-use Concrete sealer ( 1-gallon )

Driveway Concrete Sealer

Definitely worth buying the concentrate versus pre mixed. Mixing in 5 gallon bucket is no big deal. Doesn't go as far as one would think. Absorbs quickly so make sure you have more than you think you need. Instructions state 1,200SF which is true however that's assuming one coat. Two coats are recommended. Plus if for whatever reason your concrete is extra absorbent, you'll need more.

Pleased with product

I used this to seal a concrete birdbath about a month ago. So far, I am pleased with the product.

Amazingly waterproof!

Powerwashed my driveway, sidewalk and brick front porch. Knew I needed to seal it. Read recommendations for those product. It’s easy to apply with a sprayer . It will take way more product than you expect. Love watching the water bead up on the surface after a rain or sprinkler system runs! Can’t wait to see how long it lasts. Does not make it Shiney or slick . Would recommend!

Watch the water stay in beads

Was looking for the right product to use after pressure washing long driveway, sidewalk and brick patio. I have to say I was pretty blown away after the first rain to see the water sitting on top of the brick paito in large beads. Truly is waterproof. Anxious to see what it look like in a year. Thank you!

Great product

Decided to tackle a 2000sq ft patio that had not been sealed in many years.Product is easy to work with. Figuring out the wet-on-wet application time was easy then worked in small areas. Most challenging part was not the product but working around the rain and heat predictions.Highly recommend.

100% water repellent

I powerwashed our driveway and the brick front patio. Read a lot about this product before purchase. Applied it in hopes of not having such a moisture issue on the surface of especially shaded areas. Love seeing the beads of water sitting on top of the surface. So far so good!

Hopeful this works for the cost

Very expensive to use - hope it works as advertised as won’t know till down the road.

Florida Residential application

Just roller applied the Siloxa 8500 coating to my concrete driveway and sidewalk in attempt to avoid annual power washing to remove black staining.Estimated coverage was right on- Lou was very helpful on application tips. While there was a slight darkening of our concrete ( see pic of our treated sidewalk to neighbors, (who power washed at same time we did prior to applying the 8500), it’s not an issue for us if we can avoid the annual cleaning.Now we wait to see how well it protects!! 🤞

Great product

Great product and so much better than other brands. The pavers were worn but the sealer did a great job.

worked great

product worked great on an old birdbath that wouldn't hold water at all. after a few coats its like new.

Recoat

Sealed the driveway three years ago and the product was on sale. I'll seal it again this summer. Easy to apply and works great.

My Application Doesn't Require a Gallon!

Thanks to the sample size of Siloxa-Tek 8500 first discovered two years ago, my 20+ year old concrete bird bath lives for yet another western NC summer and freezing winter - yes, it stays outside year-round. Thanks Ghostshield, appreciate you making a sample size of your product available.

Concrete porch step

Easy to apply and works exactly as advertised. I've recommended this to several friends.

Great product

Once I put 2 coats down and fully cure, it does what says. I was able to paint over ir and cannot see one water stain.

Waterproof

I would like to see longer visual results, meaning rain water beading the beading effects do not last long other than that it’s a good product, also I think it needs to be much thicker so when your applying on a vertical surface it stays longer and fights evaporation better during the application stage.

Great product

Sealer went on easily. Offers good waterproof protection. Should be great for winter to prevent salt damage.
