Rain Guard Concrete Sealer 5 Gallon | Ready to Use | Natural Finish | Deep Penetrating Protection Against Water and Salt Damage for All Concrete Surfaces | Silane/Siloxane Waterproofer

After deciding to reseal my 30-year-old driveway, I conducted extensive research and selected a penetrating Silane/Siloxane sealer. Initially, I was deterred by the high costs at local big box stores, where the approximately 15 gallons needed for my project would have cost nearly $1000 after taxes and the additional materials needed for prep. This was an expense I could not justify. I then discovered Rain Guard’s 32-ounce penetrating sealer concentrate, which yields 5 gallons and fits comfortably within my budget. The sub $70 price tag to make 5 gallons was quite attractive. The positive reviews convinced me to try it, and I have no regrets about my decision. I adhered strictly to the product instructions, and the initial results exceeded my expectations. Preparation, as expected, was the most labor-intensive part of the process. The previous week, I dedicated significant effort to cleaning, degreasing, repairing and sealing cracks including a thorough high-pressure power washing the day before application. I successfully removed diesel oil stains using a gasoline and oil-absorbent/oil-dry method. The hot weather caused the water from power-washing to dry almost immediately, tempting me to apply the sealer the same day. However, I resisted the temptation and followed the instructions by waiting over the 24 recommended hours before proceeding. Determining the correct application rate based on the recommended coverage per gallon required some adjustment as I was learning how much to put down and how to set my sprayer, but once mastered, the spraying process went smoothly. The second coat was even easier to apply and required less material. Post-application (two coats), the driveway’s appearance after rain is remarkable. It even looks dry as compared to the surrounding concrete. Water beads up as it would on a non-stick skillet surface, unlike the untreated sidewalks which look dark and absorb all of the water. While the longevity of the sealer remains to be seen, I anticipate its performance will rival more expensive alternatives that would have cost an additional $700. As stated on the manufacturer’s website, shipping a concentrate and adding water locally is a much more cost-effective approach. Should my experience change, I will update this review. For now, I am thoroughly impressed with the product’s quality relative to its price. I highly recommend this product.

As someone who recently tackled the task of sealing my concrete driveway, I could confidently say this product was nothing short of amazing. From start to finish, the experience was fantastic, and the results speak for themselves. First off, the ease of application was a huge relief. I used a simple pump sprayer, and it went on smoothly and quickly. Even for a large area, the process was straightforward, and I did not feel overwhelmed. The cost effectiveness of this sealer was also incredible, getting so much quality sealer for the price felt like a steal compared to other options I researched; and I researched the options for days. The real magic happened after it dried. The water repelling capability was absolutely phenomenal! Watching today's rain bead up and roll right off my driveway reminded me I should write this review. It was like a protective shield that did not change the look of the concrete at all – the invisible finish was exactly what I wanted. I am also very optimistic about the longevity of this sealer. Knowing it was designed to last for years gives me great peace of mind that my investment is protected. I even used it on some pavers around the yard and it worked just as well. In summary, this product delivered on every promise. It was easy to use, incredibly effective at repelling water, maintained the natural look of the surface, and offered outstanding value. I am thoroughly satisfied and highly recommended it to anyone looking for a top tier concrete sealer!

Seems to work well. Water beading up nicely. Easy to apply. Used on small wall w/concrete caping . Salt from winter causing deterioration . Hopefully will help. We will see.

I used this on eco resin/resincrete. I had made some trays. Added my designs. Sealed the design with resin. I forgot to seal the resincrete first. Everything i tried to seal it with got on the resin and wouldn't come off without messing it up. This rain guard was my last try before I was just going throw the trays away. It worked! I used a paint brush and did the top edges first. It left no bubbles! Then did the inside of the tray edge, the part that touched the resin. Of course I got it on the resin but it wiped right off and caused no damage. Im so happy. It doesnt smell. It made my resincrete smooth and shiney. I would recommend this to anyone trying to seal their resincrete!! Just pour it into a measuring cup and start sealing your projects. Its thin like water and it goes a long way.

I got 2 bottles to do a 24 x 24 garage with a 3' wide apron on one side. Mixed as directed. Used sprayer for a nice even application. Dried nicely overnight. One coat was all I needed and the amount was EXACTLY right for a little over 600 sq. feet. Go get ya some.

After applying I noticed that water beaded up on most places I applied it with one area that didn't respond as well. I was hoping this product would prevent moss and mildew from forming over the winter months but I'm already seeing the green staining on my patio and driveway. Haven't seen moss yet but that tends to take a little longer. Water also doesn't appear to bead up anymore. Bottom line is that I'm not entirely impressed especially for the price.

Works great- used 2weeks ago and no leaking now. I used to add water almost daily but now 1 time a week. Easy to apply. I did clean concrete first with muriatic acid.

Thinner and watery than other brands I've used. It appears to work but I perfer a thicker better quality product

As été appliquée sur une céramique mate, très facile d’application, donne une brillance et la céramique semble toujours propre, je recommande

This product is great. Super easy to spray it on and there is no smell to it. Once it had cured after a couple days I tested it and it works perfectly. Even tried oil and it didn't soak in. One bottle did over 1000 sqft but that is because it was power troweled concrete.

I ordered this product to coat my concrete driveway. The product arrived in time. I cleaned the driveway and sprayed over the surface and it dried in 1 hr. Two days after the spray there was a rain and I was hoping to see the effect of the coating. Unfortunately, there was no visible change and rain water soaked the driveway. I used Tecniseal products in the past and i was expecting the same results. Think twice if you want to spend 132.00 dollar

I applied two coats If I spray water on the floor, it will bead but if I rub it with my hand the concrete will become wet. If I let some water standing on the concrete, after few minutes it will be wet. And by the way I paid 73.75$. It was already overpriced. Now even more.
