Water Proof Drive
Hello 2 All, I highly recommend this product. I have used sika pro caulking on my driveway first. I used recommended eagle prewash treatment. I added this prewash to my power washer. I used shop broom to scrub. Then rinsed driveway. Next day added eagle natural concrete sealer. Recommend earlier in the day when not hot. After results completely water proofed my driveway. I used 4 5 gallon buckets. The water glides off my drive. I will review again later. Thanks 4 Your Time, ANTHONYTHEONE

      My clients are always impressed and pleased with the results. Application is easy and longevity (subject to surface wear) is excellent. I only wish they had an oil application that didn't appear wet when applied and dry. Before and after (top) attached. The concrete was power washed and allowed to dry prior to application.

      I should have purchased their Paver Sealer ( more specific ) but I bought this natural seal by mistake. The 5 gal. was enough for two coats on my patio pavers. It won’t give you a sheen if that’s what your looking for. It’s a natural look as the product name states. The test was the first rain and it beaded up nicely.

      Totally worth it!!
      I have never sealed anything before. After hearing about how I should protect my investment, I decided to seal our new pavers. This was super easy to use- just spray it on! It The only thing I had an issue with was lifting the 5 gal container, so I had to scoop the sealer into the sprayer. It started raining one day and my husband said he thinks it’s hailing. Turns out it was the water beading up on our pavers! Totally worth it!

        Doesn't last long
        The waterproof effect when away after the 2nd rain, the seal allows every little stain to stay and show. Easy to stain with evrything.

          Easy to apply. There were 2 of us taking turns using a sprayer and then cross rolling. We used the sealer on a new broom swept finish patio and applied 2 coats. Has worked out well so far, water beads on surface!

          Unknown long-term lifespan. We put it on with a 1 gallon hand sprayer on new concrete. Wire brushed and swept the red mud off the surface in places and applied. The coating and coverage looked even but whenever it rains you can clearly see the application unevenness. We only had enough materials to apply one coat. The coating does not change the color of the concrete as we can see or notice. Dirt and muddy pet footprints seem to lift in the water and wash away when it rains. Water beads up currently on the surface and rolls away on sloped surfaces and collects in the low spots. The beading is similar to a freshly waxed automotive surface. When freezing occurs the pooled water creates slippery uneven spots which are dangerous. We purchased this product to provide a barrier against oil and other automotive fluids leaking from any visitors or our own vehicles. We have yet to see any reactions or results from oil based products with this product.

          Put on new driveway and sidewalk (7 days after pour) with a 3/8 inch nap paint roller. 30 days later and the water is still beading on surface.

          Good stuff
          I had 3,500 sq. ft. of driveway and ramp to seal. Bought 5 five gal. buckets. Used 2 2/3 buckets and had two left over. Went on easy. Had first rain today and driveway beaded up well and no sign of soaking in. Good stuff.

            This is not the product I ordered. The EAGLE sign is deliberately erased and the label is completely different. The product I received has Stir Well at the right side of NATURAL SEAL on the label. Not the same that was advertised.

              Initially I was very impressed with this product. Good price and relatively easy to apply (I used a pump sprayer on a cool, overcast day). This was a new build home but I power washed the driveway and back patio anyway prior to application. I tested it 2 days later and the water beaded just as it should...and it continued to bead for about 2 months. However, after roughly 2 months the beading stopped. There is no longer any beading whatsoever...rather disappointed to say the least.

              After power washing driveway and patio and letting dry per directions, the Eagle Concrete sealer was easy to apply and dried clear as advertised. Any water on surface beads right up. I ran out of sealer when applying to patio slab, and photo shows water beading up on the patio section where I applied the Eagle sealer after a rain shower. Mission accomplished.

              Appears to work but was a challenge to apply
              Applied this a couple days ago and we just had our first ran for me to see the results. See the attached picture. I ran out of product and wasnt able to do a couple of squares which are the dark ones. Obviously it works! I did find the application difficult though. I used a sprayer and tried to also roll. The product is very thin and dries very quickly which made it really hard to keep up. It is like trying to paint with milk. As I mentioned, I ran out and needed to apply more probably because I over applied in some places because it was so hard to tell where product was missing versus already dried. Some areas do have a white chalky look which is probably from over application. Very subtle but it is there in spots. Still 5 stars but next time would have someone help me keep up with the fast pace

                  Wow! Best concrete sealer we have ever used. Water literally beads up to the point you can count each water droplet. It has been 10 days since application and water still bead up. Could actually use a leaf blower to remove the raindrops.

                  To early to tell but half the price of a similar product I applied about 5 years ago to my driveway. Live in Florida where UV is intense and after 3-4 years I started to notice the water repel-ency disappeared. Ingredients of this product appeared the same as ArmoShield at less than half the price so I went for it. Right now 2-3 weeks after application water beads like mad but who knows in a couple of years....I'm ok reapplying every 3-4 years at half the price so if this lasts I'll be happy!

                  Cheap good product that does what it says.
                  I applied this seal to my exposed aggregate with a roller in about 85 degree weather with a slight breeze. I applied about two coats "wet on wet" as the bottle suggests. My patio is about 225 sqft and I used a gallon and a half. I let the patio dry for 48 hrs and then we got a thunderstorm, which was a good way to find out if the sealer worked and it worked like a charm. All the water beaded and pooled over the top and poured off. I attached pictures as proof.

                    It was a lot easier to apply than I expected. Just follow the directions. I spent more time pressure washing beforehand than I did applying the sealer. It clearly works because now water beads on the concrete instead of soaking in.

                    Works as advertised.
                    I bought this based on reviews and pictures and I wasn't disappointed. Perfoms exactly as advertised and worked well within 36hrs of application. I'd recommend taking extra time to prepare the surface property and be sure to do overlapping coats. I have a porous driveway so while applying it looks like it's being absorbed too fast so in those sections I added a bit extra. You can see in my photo the water beads right away which can be easily swept away or left to dry.

                      Product has a water like consistency so I applied it with a pump up sprayer and used a smooth surface paint roller to soak up and spread up any puddles. The product appears white when it puddles so easy to identify them. Applied to driveway about 2 weeks ago and had our first rain last night. Very pleased with results. Driveway was very porous and would absorb water and then stay wet for a week after. Eagle Natural Seal has resolved my issue without changing the color of the concrete. I also applied this to my burnt adobe brickwork with the same results.

                      Holy chit! This stuff is AWESOME! I used a roller, it dried (on a dry, 72 degree day) in about 30 minutes. Look at the difference. Right side has not been coated yet. I am getting more for the rest of my concrete.

                        This sealer definitely worked better than expected! I was concerned when I found out that commercial sealers cost 3 or 4 times more and we just simply couldn't afford it. So we decided to give the Eagle Natural Seal a shot. It was easy to apply with a hand pump weed sprayer. And I followed with a roller just to help get everything saturated. Coverage on our concrete was much better than 1000 sq. ft. per 5 gallons. We have about 2000 sq. ft. so I got two 5-gallon pails and we barely used any from the second pail. And we applied it generously. Maybe that's because it's newer concrete? Not sure. You can see how well the water beads up in the pictures I attached. Kind of fun watching the beads roll down the driveway. I guess I've just never seen properly sealed concrete before. Bottom line, I definitely recommend this product!

                        I bought two 5 gallon drums of this sealer to do all of my concrete. I typically do not write reviews but this sealer is great. It was very easy to apply with a garden sprayer. It had little to no odor and cleanup was a snap just rinsing the sprayer with water. Here is a video that shows how well it turns back water after 24 hours of drying. https://youtu.be/w8Vmz4bUOaA

                          Went on easy with garden sprayer. Didn't change the look or feel of concrete. Water beads very well. 5 gallon bucket was enough for 2 coats on approximately 750 sqft of pool deck with about 1 gallon left over. Will buy again to reseal when needed.
