MasonryDefender All Purpose Brick Stone & Concrete Sealer - Transparent Penetrating Waterproof Coating For Outdoor Masonry Surfaces - 1 Gallon

Cleanup easy! Went on smooth.

Used the All-Purpose Masonry & Concrete Cleaner from the same company, let it sit for 15 - 20 min, then pressure washed it - No scrubbing. Then waited for it to dry. I then applied this to my front porch and 1st section of the walkway to seal it, just to try it out. Waited 5 - 10 min, then sprayed another coat. First rain came after about 3 days since applying it and I take a look outside. I see beading on the bricks and the first section on the walkway. When dry, the walkway looks just as bright as the other sections. When it rains, you can clearly see the difference. I also wondered if someone walked on the walkway, cause I see footprints. I then realized it's my footprints, as when I applied the 2nd coat, the walkway was still wet so some got attached to the bottom of my shoes. Now, I have to pressure wash the whole walkway and seal it. I'm mad I create more work for myself, but the product indeed works as sold! I want to seal everything with this now! We'll see how long it last. But, for now, i couldn't be more happier!

One of those things that’s hard to know what’s in it, how long it will last, or how it will perform against other products. Not like paint you can see and touch. Kind of like flossing your teeth, you just do it because you’re supposed to. Went on easy, seemed to penetrate well, and surfaces beads water like crazy, at least in the short term.

I used this for my dark grey honed quartz counter tops. I needed something for my honed counter tops that wouldn’t give it a sheen or shine. The builders “sealed” them before we moved in, but they must have done a bad job because it was left with ugly streaks everywhere that wouldn’t come out. After looking at reviews of all the products out there I opted for a concert sealant to keep the matte look. First I cleaned the counter with a sealant stripper, which didn’t get the steaks out. I decided to go ahead and seal them anyway, hoping the sealant would just even out the color. I put a decent latter on and then another five minutes later. I was alarmed as is first started to dry. It was drying in weird patters and patches, leaving white marks. Even the next morning it wasn’t all the way. After it dried l, I cleaned it with Method counter cleaner and it took out the stealing while keeping it sealed. The water now breads and doesn’t leave water marks and greasy fingerprints are ready to wash off.

Hard to tell if product worked. Obviously I have a bigger leak issue than I thought.

I have lost my mind over water seeping from the corner of my basement ceiling in the area under a stone porch post.. Re-chinked several times, Re-graded around the porch, even had foundation work ( $$$!). Then a friend suggested a stone sealant. OMG where has this been all my life!. It was easy to spray on and has worked like a charm so far. Quick drying. I think that when I reapply, I will use something that dries with a shine but I could not be happier with it's function

The first two pictures are the beginning cobblestone. The third picture is after I treated the stone. I thought it was supposed to bring the color of the stone back, and this sealer did not. Yes, when you first treat it, the stone looks wet and the colors of the stone come out, but then it dries and it is back to normal. From the pictures which were posted, I thought it would look like the cobblestone treatment my landscaper put down. So if you are looking for a water sealer, you might want to consider this product. I have not tried the water on it yet. If you are looking to bring the stone back to its original condition, I say it is a failure.

I have used this on pavers and a stone veneer. In both case water beads as expected providing a layer of protection. I have not seen any shading or darkening.

Easy to use
