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

Easy

easy to apply, used sprayer, 2 coats 8500 beads up and drains off nicely

Not a full gallon of product.

There's not a full gallon of product in the container. There's just a hair over 3 quarts in the container that says 1 gallon.

Great product !!

We used this on our pool deck . Super easy to use and you can see it beading up when it rains . Excellent customer service too !

Easy to apply

My only negative was that if you want to paint over it, I was told you can only use oil-based paint. Why would anyone use oil-based paint with concrete and good luck finding it.

Review

So far, it’s only been one week, we can actually see it protecting our concrete. I hope it last.

Water beads up

Only had it down a short time, but when it rains the water beads up and rolls right off , hopefully will stay like this for years to come.

Concrete pool deck protection for harsh winters

The concrete color remained unchanged,there is no sheen so surface doesn’t become slippery when wet and water repellency is excellent.I hope it last for years as stated!

So far so good!

Just applied 2 days ago. Easy application, the calculator was correct when calculating our sq. ft. It didn't change the appearance of the concrete.

Excellent product

I am happy to have used this product, the results obtained are incredible, the application is simple. I recommend it to all those who need a quality product.

Great Product

Have used 8500 for several years on brick pavers and it has been worthwhile in our humid tree shaded location.

Lucy in the sky... With Diamonds!

Totally thrilled after being highly impressed! Went on with sprayer and broom. I was singing Lucy in the sky with diamonds, upon seeing the water beading from first rain after application!

Pleased customer of Ghost Shield

What a great product. Easy to apply with no streaking. After it dried you could not tell it was ever applied. It is amazing how it sheds water. VERY PLEASED!!!!!

Water really beads up!

So far, this stuff seems to work great. We had a rain a few days later and I noticed a color difference between my sidewalk and the neighbor's sidewalk. His was darker in color (the water soaked into the concrete) and mine kept the same light gray concrete color and the water beaded up during the rain. Let's hope, over time, that the mildew doesn't come back and that it last for several years (10).

Great product ,did have to spray because older concrete

Had to spray because older concrete was a little more pores than new concrete

It does what it says it does.

My only complaint I have with the product is it takes days for the water to evaporate after it gets wet.

Chemical engineering at it's best

Have used several times on concrete, pavers, and roof tiles with excellent results, easy to apply with backpack sprayer (wouldn't recommend other methods) but definitely requires wet on wet application, but if done properly this siloxane formulation sheds water and stains very well for many years.

This stuff is incredible

It works incredibly well. The water did not get absorbed at all when we tested after 24 hours.
