Glaze N Seal Wet Look Sealer Scores (1-10)

Wet Look: 8

– Glaze N Seal Wet Look is an excellent wet look sealer. The brick paver patio that we applied to had never been sealed since it was installed 6 years ago. The Glaze N Seal enhanced the gray and red paver bricks as if they were wet with water. The customer was very happy after the application.

Gloss Level: 6

– Of the solvent-based sealers, Glaze N Seal Wet Look is not the shiniest. The final gloss level after applying 2 coats was a nice matte shine.

Wet Look: 9

– V-Seal Industra-Gloss SB gave a beautiful wet look to our stamped concrete patio. This sealer enhanced the red and brown colors extremely well. Exactly what you would expect with a high solid, solvent-based acrylic sealer.

Gloss Level: 9

– We applied 1 coat of the V-Seal Industra-Gloss to our stamped concrete. It applied at 150 sq. feet per gallon and the result was a gloss sheen. We did not bother applying a second coat as it did not need it.

by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Concrete Since 1993 March 1, 2024

H&C Paver Sealer

Update 2025 for H&C Paver Sealer Gloss Review

H&C Paver Sealer Gloss has shown poor results in our testing. See the review below for more info. If you have any questions or have used the H&C Paver Sealer Gloss, please ask below in our Q&A area. We are here to help!

H&C Paver Sealer Gloss is a premium quality sealer that protects pavers and prolongs the natural beauty only pavers can bring to an outdoor living area. This product applies milky white and dries clear to ensure complete coverage, and is extremely easy to apply. It provides excellent weather resistance while protecting the investment against water damage. It is solvent-free and VOC compliant, water-based.

Tested on Brick Paver Pool Deck – 2 coats applied.

H&C Paver Sealer Gloss Scores (1-10)

Wet Look: 3

– We applied this sealer to a 6-month-old brick paver patio around a pool. We had hoped to achieve a darkened enhanced look to the pavers. The sealer did very little to change the appearance.

Gloss Level: 6

– For a water-based sealer, the H&C Paver Sealer did fairly well when it came to adding gloss shine. After applying 2 coats, we achieved a decent semi-gloss look.

H&C Sealer Wet Look

Update 2025 for H&C Concrete Sealer Wet Look Review

As of 2025, I have found that the H&C Concrete Sealer Wet Look has shown problems for Stamped Concrete, Brick Pavers, and other Decorative Concrete Surfaces. If you have any questions about the H&C Concrete Sealer Wet Look product, please ask in our Q&A area below. I am glad to help!

H&C Concrete Sealer Wet Look Water-based is a premium-quality 100% clear acrylic sealer that enhances and protects previously coated, bare concrete and other masonry surfaces. It is a single-component, nationally compliant sealer that can be applied to both interior and exterior applications. H&C Concrete Sealer Wet Look Water-based applies milky white to ensure complete coverage but dries to a transparent, durable gloss finish.

Tested on Brick Pavers – 2 coats applied.

H&C Concrete Sealer Wet Look Scores (1-10)

Wet Look: 5

I expected a much richer look because this sealer is H&C’s designated “wet look” sealer. The sealer did darken the surface, but only slightly. It is not on par with other water-based sealers and is not even close to a good solvent-based sealer.

Gloss Level: 4

H&C Wet Look Sealer had little to no gloss for the first coat and a matte sheen after the second coat.

by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Concrete Since 1993 May 10, 2024

2024 for Super Diamond Clear Sealer

– We were very impressed with the Super Diamond Clear darkening/enhancing the stamped concrete patio. The overall look and colors were enhanced well.

Gloss Level: 8

– Super Diamond Clear contains 25% solids, according to the manufacturer. This sealer left a nice semi-gloss shine on the stamped concrete patio. We did notice that the Diamond Clear looked stunning when dried.

Sealer in Clear Gloss by H&C

H&C Gloss Concrete Sealer Review

As of 2025, we have found that the H&C Gloss Concrete Sealer has shown issues on Stamped Concrete, Brick Pavers, and other Decorative Concrete Surfaces. If you have any questions on the H&C Gloss Concrete Sealer product, please ask below in our Q&A area. We are here to help!

H&C Concrete Sealer Clear Gloss Oil-based is a solvent-based sealer formulated with a silicone acrylic resin. H&C’s Concrete Sealer Clear Gloss is a 23% solids high gloss coating for virtually any outdoor application. It seals and protects while providing a durable non-yellowing finish.

Tested on Stamped Concrete and Brick Pavers

H&C Gloss Concrete Sealer Scores (1-10)

Wet Look: 5

– H&C Gloss did a poor to average job of darkening brick pavers. It performed slightly better for the stamped concrete over the brick pavers but sill not nearly as good as the other solvent-based acrylic sealers.

Gloss Level: 7.5

– Not bad for the gloss level. H&C Gloss concrete sealer contains 23% solid acrylic. This is an average amount for solvent-based sealers. One coat showed little to no gloss but the second coat did make a difference and we ended up with a satin sheen to the pavers and a semi-gloss for the stamped concrete.

My Seal n Lock Paver Sealer Scores (1-10)

Wet Look: 6

Considering this is the Seal n Lock wet look version, the sealer did an average job at enhancing or improving the paver stones with a wet look.

Gloss Level: 6

by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Concrete Since 1993 May 10, 2024

Hi, I am Scott Paul, a leading exterior restoration contractor and business owner with over 30 years of experience in exterior concrete sealing and protection. For info about who I am, please read my full bio here.

Update 2025 for Behr Wet Look Sealer Review

For 2025, I have found that the Behr Wet Look Sealer has shown major issues for Stamped Concrete, Brick Pavers, and other Decorative Concrete Surfaces. If you have questions about the Behr Wet Look Sealer product, please ask in our Q&A area below. We are here to help!

BEHR PREMIUM® WET-LOOK SEALER is a clear, non-yellowing, high-solids, acrylic-based masonry sealer. It is formulated to seal, protect, and beautify concrete and masonry surfaces with a high gloss, wet-look finish. BEHR PREMIUM WET-LOOK SEALER is also an excellent topcoat for paints and stains.

They are applied to a stamped concrete walkway.

Behr Wet Look Sealer Ratings (1-10)

Wet Look: 3

Wet look? The Behr wet-look sealer barely changed the appearance of the stamped concrete surface, even after two coats. It went on milky white and dried milky as well.

Gloss Level: 3

Behr claims that their sealer will leave a high gloss shine. After the two coats, we barely saw any remnants of any gloss, let alone a high gloss—very misleading marketing from Behr.

Brick Paver Patios and landscaping blocks have become increasingly popular in the last 10-20 years. They offer an alternative to regular plain white concrete by adding old world charm, which resembles walkways and streets of the 19th century. Brick Paver patios can be customized to be designed for any area. They are very popular for driveways, walkways, around pools, etc. Of course, with any exterior horizontal surface, there is a need for general maintenance with brick pavers by cleaning and sealing on a regular basis.

Brick paver sealers are water repellents and coatings that are specifically designed to be used on paver stones and blocks.
