Worth Every Penny
Review by Linda(on 3/2/2018)Let's face it, concrete sealer is not cheap so we want a DIY-project friendly product that will do the job right the first time. Since discovering AR500 I have used the sealer twice with complete satisfaction. I also recommend getting a jar of the non-slip additive.
THE BEST SEALER BY FAR!!!
Review by DINO(on 2/10/2018)WOW!!
Sometimes a product comes along that that actually does what it says and does what it is supposed to do. The AR500 high gloss sealer exceeded all of my expectations!!
Placed a phone order after speaking with tech support to be certain this would do the trick on my flowerbed brick/pavers.
The results knocked my socks off!! WOW!!
Found the perfect product. Will never buy anything else!
Don't buy the cheap stuff - buy quality - buy Foundation Armor.
Thanks guys!
Dino
Great product
Review by Wayne(on 11/11/2017)Shipping was very fast so I could time application with the weather forecast. Coverage was very good. Applied to a very old paver patio - possibly 60's vintage which was pretty dry and faded here in the southwestern US. Actually had to go with a third coat but had enough and even some left over so the coverage estimates are accurate. With that third coat I got an even high gloss finish just as promised. Would recommend this product!
Beautiful finish, a great product.
Review by Therese(on 9/15/2017)A GREAT PRODUCT! Our 25 year old bricks were showing their age, Foundation Armor AR-500 brought them back to life. Easy to roll on with wonderful results! We would highly recommend
Awesome look
Review by Mick(on 9/12/2017)This sealer works awesome! Used it for 300 sq ft of cultured stoned and 1100 sq ft of pavers. Cultured stone looks bright and shiny and paver have a totally new look to them. 1-5gallon pail almost did it all fell short about 100 sq ft of pavers. Word of advice on install if using only clear coat. Use a sprayer and back coat with roller. That make sure it get into all crevices that roller can't get into and the roller just even it out.
Customer service was awesome too. Had to buy a second pail at a different time and they still gave me the buy two price. Thank you Mike.
Now if I had to say one con it would have to be the smell. It is pretty intense for using a whole 5 gallon pail in one day. If using outside and have close nieghbors I would be courteous to them and let them know what you are doing. I made that mistake and the fire department showed up cause one of my neighbors three houses down smelled the chemicals in the air and I guess they thought Walter Wright was in the neighborhood
Above and Beyond Expectations
Review by Placer Suttons(on 7/6/2017)The AR500 totally saved me from removing 2200 sqft of concrete from my backyard. This product is easy to apply and looks outstanding. If you're looking for a solvent that will bring the life back into colored concrete, this is it. Would recommend this everytime.
Great product
Review by Mike (on 6/25/2017)We have a large concrete patio that used colored concrete and was acid etched. After 10 years it needed a make over. Applied 2 coats of the AR 500 and the patio looks great.
Solid Product
Review by John B(on 6/14/2017)Purchased the AR500 in mid May, with the rainy New England weather, I was not able to apply until a few days ago. It transformed my stamped concrete from a dull gray to a shiny "wet" looking patio. I used a roller to apply, very easy. I also bought some non slip powder. I recommend buying the more coarse powder, more traction when wet. Staff was very helpful when I called to ask for pointers on applying. Great product!
Solid Product
Review by Chris G(on 6/9/2017)The AR500 is easy to apply and rejuvenates stamped concrete. Used one good coat and my walkways, patio and pool area look new again! Excellent product!
excellent

Exceeded My Expectation
Review by diffle(on 5/19/2017)Have tried numerous other products over the years that have not given the high gloss this does. Goes on easy. Just applied so can't comment on the durability at this time. Completely satisfied at this time.
Outstanding Product and Customer Service
Review by Ken(on 5/16/2017)Very happy with the AR500 sealer. It was very easy to apply and brought back the color and shine to my dull looking stamped patio. Customer service, especially Tanya, was outstanding. This is definitely a company you can depend on for great customer service and great products. Thanks!!!
Best Sealer
Review by Bobbybo (on 5/3/2017)Foundation Armor has the best sealers for all types of application.
Also excellent customer service and knowledgeable staff.
AR500 Sealer
Review by Dan Christiansen (on 5/3/2017)I have use this sealer for a few years now it really holds its gloss and the staff are very well trained to answer any questions I would recommend this product to anyone wanting a gloss wet look finish.
Amazing
Review by Scott(on 5/1/2017)We recently bought a home. It has over 1200 sqft of pavers. All the ugly faded colors. I wish I could post a picture. We live in SoCal so lots of bright sun. I bought 2 x 5-gallon cans. Since these pavers are around 20 years old, I should have bought more because they sucked up the sealer however it looks amazing. My wife and I are now moving to the back yard where more ugly pavers are looking for a makeover. Thank you foundation armor for a great product. Man if I could only post pictures.
Excellent Product
Review by RandyZ(on 5/1/2017)Results were better than expectations. Easy to use product and great shine that I was hoping for. Can't comment yet on durability as just completed the project. Price seems reasonable based on cost of other sealers that are not near as good as this.
Great
Review by Amazon Customer(on 4/14/2017)This product is the best! Ordered the dark grey from the manufacturer and it arrived within 7 days. Followed the directions to the letter. With color, two coats are a must! It has been about two weeks now since finishing the job - a 120 foot long, 14 foot wide driveway. It looks great and is holding up to all expectations. It is not a paint, so it won't crack, chip, or peel. It literally soaks in to the concrete. If you do it yourself, make sure you wear gloves and long pants as the chemicals can "sting" a bit if they get on your skin --- a quick flush with water solved the problem. Will definitely use products from the company again - they are well worth the money.

LOOKS GREAT
Review by Ron(on 4/10/2017)After trying numerous products over 12 years this product really does the job.
WOW
Review by Capt Ron(on 4/1/2017)Ok first I was blown away how fast the product got to my home. I ordered (2) 5 gallon AR 500 cans. It was here in about 24 hours, rain storm and all. I applied with a roller on my brick driveway. It was installed in 2005 and I have used other products to seal. NONE beat this. A great family owned and run business. I will be recommending this product. Thank you.
Excited to Try Product!
Review by Quinn Richards(on 9/6/2016)I have been researching high gloss products for a few weeks now and I came across this product. After speaking with Mike, I ended up order a sample and LOVED it. It darkened my stamped concrete and made it look new. It hasn't been sealed in about 7 years so I was really happy at how much of a difference the product made. I ended up ordering 20 more gallons and I am excited to apply it to the entire driveway.
Hope it turns out OK
Review by Danny(on 8/18/2016)Just placed an order for AR500. After reading the reviews and doing a lot of research, I decided to land on this product. I only hope it does as well as everyone says it does. And a BIG ATTABOY to Tanya S. for being so patient and helpful with all my questions... She is fantastic.... Will come back and update my review once I have seen this stuff on the patio...
Great Product!!
Review by Paul(on 8/4/2016)Tried this product for the first time this week. Great Product and the finish is awesome. I used to buy the Glaze n Seal Wet Look Product but not anymore and Foundation Armor is cheaper! HIGHLY Recommend!
Impressed!
Review by Jim(on 6/21/2016)I used the AR 500 on a stamped concrete patio. I applied two coats with a 3/4 nap roller and brushed the edge against a wall. It was super easy to apply and looks great. Finally found a great product I can brag on. Everyone that sees it wants to know what I used so I gladly recommend it!
I am pleased with the outcome
Review by nolan(on 6/6/2016)Putting down the AR500 was easier that I imagined. To apply, it’s best to use a high quality pump sprayer. The plastic ones sold in places like Wal-Mart and Home Depot paint section will give you a stream that comes out too heavy and will not be evenly distributed. I tried three different hand held plastic sprayers and had to resort to the bigger back pack pest control sprayer. This worked but I had to pump frequently to keep the flow steady. I also use a metal can sprayer with a metal tip that I brought at Ace hardware. This worked very well. A bit of advice for when you get along the side of the house, put a piece of card board to prevent the sealer from splashing. If you don’t, as you spray, there will be streak marks from the sealer that you can’t remove. This sealer is not recommended for bricks. I wanted to get a high gloss finish and was very skeptical to use this product since there was only one review on the Home Deport web site that did not recommend it. For years I’ve tried other high gloss sealers from Sherman Williams, Lowes and Home Depot and was disappointed because they all left a whitish look on the paver. With the AR500 it was all clear and glossy. Two coats works best.
Amazing Gloss!
Review by Carmine H.(on 9/29/2015)I am a HUGE fan of this product, it leaves behind the best gloss finish. I wanted to seal my patio before our Anniversary party and I wanted something that really stood out. I have never received so many compliments, my guests loved it! I love drinking coffee in the morning and admiring how beautiful it shines. I refer this product to everyone! I also want to add the product was very easy to apply and the customer service was just as amazing as the product. Thank you for your help Mike!
great product and customer service
Review by Roger Moss(on 3/20/2015)Very happy with the product. It was very easy to apply and I have received several compliments already. The wife is happy so I'm happy! I also wanted to mention that Mike was very helpful and patient during the entire process. I am very happy I decided to go with the AR500. Thanks!
very happy with this product
Review by George Parker(on 3/20/2015)Every year I seal my driveway, walkway, and back patio with an acrylic and no fail, the following year I need to recoat. Two and a half years ago I decided to purchase the AR500 and I am just coming back now to buy more so I can touch up the heavy traffic areas. This product has lasted longer and stood up better than any acrylic I have put down yet. I am very happy with the gloss of the AR500 and I am very impressed with how long it lasts. The customer service has also been fantastic both times!
Absolutely Stunning!
Review by Corinne Bragg(on 2/11/2015)For years I have been searching for a product for my paver walkway and stamped concrete patio that offered true high gloss. After the second coat I became instantly in love with this product and will never use another product again! Mike, thanks for the awesome customer service!
Nice Product
Review by Rajesh(on 11/4/2014)I used the AR500 on my paver driveway and it looks and performs exactly as described(high gloss and durable). Thank you
