Supreme Shield SB-600 Wet Look Sealer
For 2024, we have found that the Supreme Shield SB-600 and SB-350 (low VOC States) are the most popular sealers for a wet look without gloss or shine. This can be used for stamped concrete, brick paving, and other decorative concrete surfaces. If you have any questions about this product, please ask me in our Q&A area below. I am here to help!
SUPREME SHIELD SB is a solvent-based penetrating sealer designed for stamped concrete, concrete pavers, and other porous concrete surfaces. Its application enhances the color and gives a wet look without adding the gloss and plastic associated with other traditional film-forming sealers. Once treated, the surface repels water and oil to prevent staining.

How To Apply Supreme Shield SB-600 Brick Paver Sealer
We have a concrete slab (interior of home) that we are finishing by sanding/grinding (from 80 grit up to 240 grit) so it’s not truly “polished” but will be smoothed out. I’m cleaning the entire surface with a tile & grout cleaner (so the surface will be steamed clean to remove any lingering construction residue). Now, I’m looking to put down a wet-look sealer that has no gloss/semi-gloss and this is the best one I am finding online…question is, for interior use (everyday traffic) will this sealer protect the concrete from spills, etc. due to the breathability factor? I know… Read more »
The only way to fully protect from spills is to use a filming sealer, which means you will have some gloss Your best option would be a top coat in a Matte shine. See this.

Scott, What do you recommend to seal travertine stone pavers around the pool area?
Super Seal-M or Supremen Shield SB-600.
I had Euclid Super Diamond Clear 350 left over from my back concrete patio. And, I just applied a coat on my 2-year old concrete driveway. After seeing your reviews, now I’m not sure if it was the right choice. Should I just apply the 2nd coat or can I now apply Super Seal-M over the top to finish it? Also, what crack filler do you recommend on those stress line “cracks” that have shown up? Thanks for you assistance.
You cannot apply a different brand/type of sealer over the top. Leave it as is for now and you can prep and recoat as needed later on.
I’m preparing for winter (Denver) to protect driveway from ice and moisture. Since the1st coat of Super Diamond Clear 350 was very thinly applied, would applying a 2nd coat be best? Also, do you recommend a “crack sealer” where there has been some separation within the control joints.
You will be fine until Spring to clean and reapply. We do not use crack fillers unless it is for exposed aggregate.
Can I use a stain before I use the Supreme Shield on a stamped concrete patio? If so, what brand/kind of stain do you recommend?
Also, what is the lowest temp rating for application on the Supreme Shield?
Thank you so much.
No, concrete stains will not “take” into stamped concrete once they have been cured and sealed in the past. Do not apply the SB-600 below 50 F.
Other than the VOC issue, what is superior Supreme Shield SD-600 or
Supreme Shield SD-6000?
Also, given that eventually a new coat will need to be applied to either one, which product (if either one) maintains the look of the original application?
The last about the same but the SB-600 will give a richer wet look since it is solvent based. Maintenance is the same for both. Clean and reapply.
Hello. I have a 2 year old driveway that has split on both sides of the culvert running underneath. I have seen small pieces of it seperating from the primary cracks. How can I keep those pieces from breaking out and seal the driveway around it without making it look difference from other portions of the driveway?
Sorry but you cannot fix this with a coating or sealer. It is a structural issue that needs to be professionaly repaired.
I just applied the sb-600 2 days ago and it was a bit of a windy day and a bit of the solvent was blown into the pool while I was spraying. I was able to remove most if not all of it with a skimmer that has a very fine mesh as I was able to see the oil spots sitting on top of the pool water. Anything I should be worried about as far as any of the solvent that inevitably made it into the skimmers and eventually the equipment?
Sorry but not sure as we have never seen or done this.
Home built in 1957 with “Roman” style brick. The skinny longer style. Would like “wet look”. One area is larger lower wall and the other is a 26′ flower bed. The two areas are on the west side. What is the best rated product to attain this look? Home in Seattle, WA. Thank you! jb
Is the brick concrete or clay bricks? Post some pics as well.
Unfortunately, not a techie! And, to boot, no cell phone!! Going to send some pics the best way I know how. They will show from Office Depot. Due to doctor’s appt. will not be able to send until this afternoon. In answer to your question, I do not know if they are concrete or clay. Clay, maybe? Sorry! Thank you!! jb
Just an FYI, wet looks sealers do not work well on clay pavers. Dries blotchy.
Sorry couldn’t get pics to work. Bricks may be clay. Still unsure. Purchased a “Wet Look” sealer from Sherwin Williams. Will try on side flower bed and see what happens. Thank you for your assistance. jb

Hi Scott, we have a reddish colored aggregate patio at a lake house in Montana. It hasn’t been sealed and has a whitish look I assume due to calcium build up. The cement is colored throughout. I’ve tried vinegar and baking soda and scrubbing with minor results. What would be best to seal it for a real wet look. Thank you! Larry
Post some pics. You need to remove the white haze first.
Hi Scott, I purchase and applied two coats of SB-600 on concrete pavers and I noticed after about a week or two that water doesn’t really bead up. Is this normal? Thanks.
Yes, it is breathable, not 100% sealing. You want it breathable so it does not discolor.
I bought a house 3 years ago that has an 8 year old pool and stamped concrete deck. I don’t know what type of sealant was used previously but it all seems worn off (except in one spot – shown in one of the pictures). Some of the old color comes through but very porous deck. Wondering what you recommend / if I should limit myself to certain type of sealer. I’d like wet look; non-slippery (it’s pretty gritty now so not sure if I’d need to add anything); bring out the old color; last a few years (there are… Read more »
You should strip the old sealer that turned white first: https://www.concretesealerreview.com/how-to-strip-a-stamped-concrete-sealer/
Once done, try Super Seal Matte or Supreme Shield SB-600.
Can I apply the Supreme Shield sb600 over a previously sealed stamped concrete patio that used permacrete plex seal WB clear sealer
Sorry, but no idea as we have never heard of that other brand.
Can this be used on a Travertine paver pool deck?
Yes.
How careful do you need to be to keep the sealer out of the pool water while sealing the stamped concrete patio? Will the mist from the sealer (SB600) cause any problems in the pool water?
Do not get any of the sealer in the pool.
Many thanks-so I think I will roll it. I have stamped concrete with quite a bit of texture. What length nap would you recommend?
1/2 – 3/4″
Good Day … I’m considering using the SB-600 wet look sealer. The pavers were sealed 4 years ago with a water based sealer. The SB-600 is solvent based. I’m advised that there is no issue to coat now with the solvent based sealer. 1, is that true…and 2, when I need to re-coat in 3-4 years is there anything to do extra to prepare the pavers prior to coating? Besides a good efflorescence cleaning? Thanks for all your good information !
Post some pics and is the current surface porous? Meaning des water soak in?
What sealer is best on old patio bricks to provide protection from moss and mildew sealed in the past by Zep Clear Shell Mold and Mildew Inhibitor? Thanks.
Concrete sealers will not protect from moss and mildew. You can use a product like this:

Hi. I was advised by a contractor to avoid the solvent base dure to florida humidity and water table. However our pavers are so dull and needs a bright up. Do you think it makes sence or he is just taking the easier route?
It does not matter whether it is solvent or water-based. The issue is if the sealer is breathable or not. The SB-600 is breathable so no issues.
Any flaking or pealing? Okay to use with polymeric sanded joints? Will it mask scratches and water stains?
It does not flake or peel. You can use it with polymeric sand as long as you do not have poly sand haze on top of the pavers. It is not possible for a clean sealer to mask scratches or water stains. It may “blend” them. If you cannot see the scratches or stains when wet with water then you should not see them when sealed with the SB-600.
Slippery when wet? Any issues with efflorescence? Okay to use with polymeric sanded joints?
Not typically slippery when wet. A sealer cannot prevent efflorescence. That comes from the concrete surface if applicable.
Is there a way I can get a small sample to evaluate?
Best to check with online websites that sell the sealer.
what if the sealer in the cracks didn’t sink in and left a white film?
Not sure whay you mean? Do you have pics?
How long can I leave the sb600 in the nice metal pump sprayer?
A few days should be okay.
how soon after a fresh pour of stamped concrete can the sb600 be applied?
We would wait a few days to a week.
Will SB 600 be safe around a salt water pool? I am concerned if it will be slippery when wet feet walk on it? Thank you..
Yes, it is safe.
Can SB-600 be applied to pavers that were previously sealed with SB-1300? They were sealed three years ago.
You would have to test it as the SB-1300 may repel the SB-600 from darkening the pavers. It comes down to the porosity.
