Looks great
Goes on easily and looks great. Really brought out the colors in the pavers we used for the new front walk.

    Looking forward to seeing how it holds up
    Prepped and applied as directed. It did a great job of bringing out rich, saturated colors and added a nice shine to our stamped concrete patio and pool deck. We added the grip additive and what a difference it makes! Previously, our patio didn’t have the extra grip additive and was dangerously slippery. Now, there is plenty of grip, even around the pool area. I highly recommend both the sealant and the grip additive.

      Great Sealer
      This was the best stamped concrete sealer I've ever used. Was so easy to apply and the results are amazing! Customer service was fantastic. They answered all my questions and were very courteous. I will recommend Ghostshield products to all my friends

            5505 review
            First, I put this down on my new concrete pool pavers and it was somewhat difficult using the recommended 1/4 inch nap roller. It would not get into the gaps between the pavers, so I had to go back the next day with a brush to fill them in. I’m not sure if a thicker nap roller would have been a better choice considering the possibility of leaving puddles or over-covering the pavers. Second, this formula does NOT leave a high gloss finish. My pavers only darkened slightly with no gloss and not even a “wet” look. A second coat might “gloss” them up but I got the oil based 5505 blend to avoid that. I’ll re-coat them in two or three years, so I’ll see then. Otherwise, it seems like a quality sealer - and the fumes are really not that bad.

              I am disappointed with the Ghostshield 1 Gal. Concrete and Maslnsory water Repellent… because I don’t see any difference after applying the product

              Looks great, goes on well, but high VOC
              This product was very easy to apply evenly with a roller. I could get nice even coverage on stampcrete with a single coat and the sq ft calculator was spot on. The high gloss look is exactly what I wanted... couldn't be happier with the appearance. This is a solvent-based application and I way underestimated the VOC ... even though the job was fully outside, the smell made it's way into the house and can still be detected 2 days later. Take precaution.

                  STELLAR
                  We have been dealing many homes driveway pavers for years. We used another product my husband picked , but I decided to see different choices. Let me tell you THIS IS THE GO TO ONLY PRODUCT TO USE . It is AMAZING AND EXCEEDED my expectations. We purchased one 5 gallon at first and decided to get one more for a second coat on brand new pacers , sidewalk and entry to my pour h walkway. We rolled it and ALWAYS sprayed. Our sprayer didn’t want to work and we got new nozzles, but than the wind was up. So we rolled again. WOW ! Over 7 neighbors came and asked what we did and used. So we are selling this product for them like crazy. Never use anything else again. Buying more for our concrete now we are staining out front door porch and back patio. 10 STAR. ILL ADD PHOTOS LATER. NEED TO TAKE.

                    Sealed a Stained Concrete Patio
                    Super easy application. I used a 1/4" nap roller for a 275 sq ft concrete patio that I had stained with a water-based stain. It turned out great.

                          Great product and great service
                          The product seems great; it’s only been down a couple weeks but so far looks great and is reopening water. The customer service department tech department was wonderful about helping me through some prep issues. I spoke several times to someone who was very kind and patient, and…. Even knowledgeable! It’s nice to trust that you are getting accurate information when you’re spending this much money and more importantly have to do a chemically correct prep job.

                                Looks good with one coat. May apply a second coat to try and make it shiny.

                                        Great sealer for my cement projects. Easy to spray on and it gives my cement that shiny, smooth, clean finish. So far it has held up well against the elements. We’ve had a lot of rain and it just beads up and rolls off.

                                              Worked exactly as described
                                              Worked exactly as described! Our paver patio is 5 years old and had never been sealed. It was looking worn and in need of restoration. I applied 2 coats of Cryli-Tek 5505 with a roller early in the morning and late in the afternoon to avoid direct overhead sun. The result was a better than new patio. The sealer darkened the pavers and achieved the marketed "wet look". It now looks fantastic. A few words of wisdom, the sealer does emit a strong odor until cured. Apply the sealer during the cooler parts of the day, avoiding direct sunlight. Very easy to use and excellent results.

                                                I initially bought the Behr Wet Look sealer to put over my new acid stained concrete but when I tested it out it dried milky white. I returned it and purchased the Cryli-Tek 5505. I only needed to apply one coat with a roller and it turned out awesome, just what i was looking for

                                                  You will not be disappointed.
                                                  Couldn't decided if I wanted a natural finish or a gloss finish on my salt water pool deck. I wanted to protect the deck from salt spalling and pitting but I also wanted to make the deck look wet so I was torn with what product to use. When I talked to Ghostshield they recommended I apply a penetrating sealer as a primer and then apply the Cryli-Tek 5505 as the final finish sealer. They said the combination of the two products would prevent any moisture from causing the 5505 to delaminate and if the salt water did wear away the 5505 over time the penetrating sealer underneath would protect the concrete from the salt spalling. SO that is exactly what I did and the results are phenominal. I would recommend the two coat system to anyone that is looking to seal a driveway in a salt belt state or a salt water pool deck. The primer I used was the Iso-Tek 8100. You will not be disappointed.

                                                    Used on stained pavers
                                                    Our patio is made up of white 12" pavers. After a summer of leaving them unsealed, they look terrible from spilled food spilled and staining. They were very hard to clean. So we pressure washed them stained them with the Pro-Fusion 1505 a medium gray color and used the Cryli-Tek 5505 on top. Working great, easy to clean after party after party. Very happy

                                                      One coat puts a slight sheen on pavers not the wet look I was expecting.
