Armor AR500 High-Gloss Solvent-Based Acrylic Concrete and Paver Sealer - 5 Gallon

Ramesh R.Ramesh R.: My Previous was out of shape and showing signs of going Dullness

I recently used a concrete sealer on my patio, and I must say I am thoroughly impressed with the results. The product I used was AR500, and it has completely transformed the look and durability of my concrete Patio surfaces.

The application process was straightforward. I followed the manufacturer's instructions, which were clear and easy to understand. The sealer went on smoothly, and it dried relatively quickly, allowing me to complete the project in a weekend. I appreciated that it was also low in odor, which made the application more pleasant.

Not only does the sealer offer fantastic protection, but it has also enhanced the appearance of my concrete surfaces (Basement Steps). My Patio now have a beautiful glossy look, and the colors appear more vibrant. It has added an attractive finish that really complements the surrounding landscape.

As you can see first few 3 pictures shows how my patio looked before applying AR500 and last 3 pictures shows the transformation (I also applied it to my Concrete Basement Stairs), Pl. note that I also mixed it with "Armor Fine Non Slip Additive for Slip...

Bell 407GXiBell 407GXi: The AR500 Sealer was used on our nearly 900 sq-ft paver patio. The patio was installed about 10 years ago using Unilock brand pavers. For unknown reasons, the contractor who originally installed the patio did not apply any sealer, which we think adversely contributed to the paver locking sand (used in the cracks between the pavers) breaking down over time. The thought being that the elements (water, freezing, thawing, etc.) had the opportunity to wick down into the compromised locking sand leading to the pavers heaving & the locking sand popping loose. Perhaps had the entire patio been sealed following installation, and repeated periodically over the years (maybe each year), the patio would not be in the condition it was.

In the process of determining what to do with the deteriorated patio condition, we obtain quotes from various contractors. As you can imagine with a patio this size the cost to revitalize was extensive. We opted to do the work ourselves with the bulk of the effort coming during the removal of the existing/broken up locking sand. This was accomplished using a multi-tool & a quantity of thin blades, which actually worked quite well but took a long...

jmbreeze23jmbreeze23: I spent a lot of time researching what sealer to use on my 2008 stamped patio. I paid to have it sealed a few times in the past, only to have it fade out and get a white haze on it. I was nervous about doing it myself, but after reading tons of reviews (many were helpful), I finally purchased this sealer. I was torn between this one and the AR350, but I really wanted that "wet" look, so I purchased the AR500. My patio had not been sealed for over 2 years. It had faded and looked as dry as a clay flower pot. There were black spots where the water had sat each time it rained. I spent a lot of time prepping the patio and trimming in the grooves. The ONE BIG lesson I learned was next time, I'm going to invest in a metal canister sprayer and have my fiancé back roll it after I spray. It took WAY too much time to trim in the grooves. The roller I used was 5/8". If I'd used 1", not sure that would have made a difference. Also, the other very helpful tip someone mentioned was when you pour out of the can, to have the open part closest to your hand, instead of to the pan you're pouring into. I didn't understand that at first, but it kept any sealer from dripping on the lid. The fumes are...
