– Black Diamond Color Enhancer Sealers did not even last 6 months on our test patio.

– Black Diamond Color Enhancer Sealer says it is designed for paver and other exterior concrete but it just does not work or perform well. Read reviews on Amazon, etc, and you will see that it performs very poorly on most exterior surfaces.
Do not bother with using this product if using it outdoors.

We used the color enhancer on our Spanish roof tiles to enhance the multi colors on them because they were dull in appearance. I must say all the colors came to life and now roof tiles really pop. This stuff is amazing 👏
Do you have a picture?
The directions instruct to keep the surface damp while product is being absorbed (10 minutes). How is this done? The surface is supposed to be clean and dry at the time of application. So how do I maintain dampness? With a squirt bottle?
You would need to contact them directlt for help with this.
My understanding, is that you should keep the area wet with the sealer product for the 10 minutes that you are soaking that area. Then wipe, with a dry cloth or paper towel, to remove any excess product.
