Supreme Shield SB-600 Wet Look Sealer
As of 2023, we have found that the Supreme Shield SB-600 and SB-350 (low VOC States) are the most popular sealers when looking for a wet look without the gloss or shine.

SUPREME SHIELD SB is a solvent-based penetrating sealer designed for stamped concrete, concrete pavers, and other porous concrete surfaces. Application of SUPREME SHIELD SB will enhance the color and give the wet look without adding the gloss and plastic look associated with other traditional film-forming sealers. Once treated, the surface repels water and oil to prevent staining.

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.
what is the pad you used for the edging?
Any exterior stain pad will work.
What do you recommend for a water base ‘wet look’ sealer for newly poured garage floor. Thanks
Wet look sealers will not work on plain white concrete. It will dry blotchy. You could use a clear epoxy coating. Try Restore A Garage brand.
can the SB600 be applied over an old solvent based gloss sealer after power washing and degreasing?
There would be no reason to as the gloss sealer under the SB-600 would prevail with the shine level. Meaning you can’t dull the shine down by adding the SB-600 on top.
what is the recommended dry time between coats of SB600? I live in central FL and will spray in morning so temp should be in low 80s.
As soon as the first coat is dry. 1-2 hours.
Thanks, I’d like to confirm I’m good sealing 1 week after pavers have been installed. And concerns with doing it now instead of waiting? Using SB600.
It should be fine as long as it is clean and no efflorescence or other stains are noticeable.
Can SB-600 be used on residential exterior brick walls to give them a no-gloss wet look to enhance the brick’s appearance?
It should work to do that.
A metal sprayer is recommended for solvent sealer application. Is it possible to clean out such a sprayer for future re-use or would the sprayer realistically be for one-time use?
Yes, you can clean it and reuse it. What to clean with varies on the sealer you are using.
A sample of SB600 is forthcoming and I expect that’s the product I’ll be using. Having a difficult time finding a consumer-grade metal sprayer that’s less expensive than what a pro would use.
There isn’t any.
Can you use a plastic paint project sprayer?
No, you need a metal sprayer.
Where in the Greater Niagara area in Ontario is there a dealer
No dealers in Canada that we know of.
Just installed Nicolock concrete pavers this week. Contractor hasn’t put poly sand down (open for suggestions on poly sand). The pavers looks dull and we would love a wet look without a sheen soSB-6000 looks like the best choice.
However, Nicolock suggests waiting a year to apply sealant because of efflorescence. Is SB-6000 THAT breathable that it can be applied immediately after installation? I’m cautiously optimistic as it seems too good to be true.
Efflorescence, if it happens typically will show soon or within a few months after installation of the pavers. No sealer will allow efflorescence to “breathe” out.
We would wait 2-3 months and then seal if you are concerned
Does the SB 600 product work well with concrete that is about 10 years old. Can I get a sample can or quart size container to test on my stamped concrete. ??
Yes, age does not matter. As for samples, we do not sell from this site so you wold have to find them elsewhere.
How often do I need to apply this sealer. we live in Colorado , but not a lot of wear.
Every 2 years or so is normal.
Last summer I had a stamped concrete patio installed. It was sealed with Super Seal 25 (acrylic solvent based decorative sealer). Can that concrete be resealed with SB-600 even though it’s a penetrating sealer and SS25 is more of a film?
There would be no reason to do this as the SS25 under the SB-600 will only be enhanced and restored to the same shine and wet look as before.
Is SB-600 ok in Indiana?
I have a new exposed aggregate driveway that has some inconsistencies from the wash off process. Some areas have less stones and others have more. I would like wet look; do you know which would make the inconsistencies less noticeable. Gloss vs Matte etc. thank you.
Gloss or matte will not make a difference. Try SuperSeal30 for a Gloss or Supreme Shield SB-600 for no gloss. Both have a wet look.
Can this product be used when the pavers were previously sealed with AQUA CURE VOX?
It should be fine.
Can you use this product on a new solid poured concrete driveway in Northern Va?
No, you cannot use this on plain poured concrete. Use it for decorative concrete like stamped, pavers, etc.
It’s going to be between 30 & 40 this week and then colder. I messed up and didn’t get it done this summer. Shouldn’t try it huh?
No, too cold.
What does the air temperature have to be to apply?
50-90.
Is SB-600 OK in NV?
No idea, as we do not live there. Check online.
What is the percentage of solids in the Supreme Shield SB-600 Concrete Sealer?
I believe around 20-25%.
We live in Northern California (The SF Bayarea). Want to apply sealant on three types of surfaces – concrete, aggregate concrete and brick. I have attached photos of all three. All these surfaces are horizontal, includes the driveway and walkways around the house. We want to get a wet but not glossy look. Some gloss is ok. We are thinking about Supreme Shield SB-600. Want to confirm if we can use it for all three surfaces.
No pictures.
Sorry about missing the pictures. Here they are. Also, this surface is more than 25 years old and I do not think sealant was applied before. So there are stain spots on the concrete that powerwashing does not seem to remove. Is it ok to apply on top? Thank you.
You cannot use a wet look sealer on clay bricks and the plain poured concrete. It will dry very blotchy and uneven. You can use a wet look sealer on the aggregate. The SB-600 is not legal for CA though.
Thank you for responding. Is SB-350/400 legal in CA?
I believe so.
We live in KS and just put down timberwood blend tumbled Ledge Rock Paver patio. We are going to put the polymeric sand (Gator Maxx) down tomorrow. We want a wet look to enhance the color and wouldn’t mind a light gloss but don’t the want stones to dark. We’re thinking about the Supreme Shield SB-600. Thoughts? Is there a recommended time to wait after putting polymeric sand down before applying seal? I think I saw 60 to 90 days somwhere. I appreciate your help!
You can seal it now and the SB-600 would work well.
Hi,
I just had a patio done with UniLock pavers. They used polymeric sand for the joints. The patio is nice but looks very dull. I’m thinking we want a wet look, with a semi-gloss look. What is the best solvent based product and how many gallons for 650 square feet.
Thanks!
The Supreme Shield SB-600 is best. About 5-6 gallons for two coats.
Thanks for the reply. I live in Ohio and am wondering if I can have it shipped here? The whole VOC thing confuses me!
For Ohio, choose the SB-350 option for VOC compliance.
Is there a Joint stabilizing sealer from Clemons that can be used for one coat and combine with Supreme Seal SB600 without getting too glossy? i prefer a wet look.. if so, which one should go first?
No, that would not work. You could try the Super Seal Matte. That would give a low gloss and joint stabilizing.
Thanks. Which one gives darker color between Super Seal Matte and SB-600?
Same.
Am unsure between SB-600 or Supreme Seal Matte or /Surebond SB-6000; Is there a place where they are compared with pictures? What are the key differences?
The difference is either solvent or water-based. The SS Matte has a shine that is low like a satin. The others do not have a shine. All 3 give a wet look.
Between the Clemons SB-600 and SureBond SB-6000 which one will give the darker look by enhancing the concrete color the most?
The Clemons SB-600
I am looking to seal a new black coloured stamped concrete patio. It currently looks more grey as there hasn’t been anything applied yet and I would like it to be dark black like when it gets wet. I don’t like the shine of high gloss sealers and was looking for something that gives a more matte / natural look. Will the SB-600 bring out the same darkness as a high gloss sealer would? Or is it going to look lighter? Also I am from Ontario, Canada and was wondering if I would need to purchase the lower VOC SB-350… Read more »
The SB-600 should work for you but not sure which version you should get for Canada.
Looking to seal and enhance my concrete pool deck…looks like SB-600 may do the trick? But also want to seal and enhance the flagstone path…which product is best for those? Both surfaces shown in this pic.
Wet look sealers will not work well for natural stone like Flagstone as they will dry blotchy. Not sure about your concrete deck. What type of surface is this and is it porous? It looks like an epoxy with the dots.
It’s just a concrete deck. The dots are small pits. Not sure if it’s ever been sealed before but definitely not epoxy. Thanks.
Wet look sealers will not work on plain poured concrete as well. Dries blotchy. They are for decorative concrete surfaces only.
Hi! Where can I buy the Supreme Shield SB-600 Wet Look Sealer?The one I see at Lowe’s & Home Depot is the brand Eagle. Is that it?
Check online. You cannot find it at Lowes or Home Depot. Eagle is not the same brand.
I want a non- slip wet look sealer with no shine. Can I use SB 600 on a brushed concrete stairwell to achieve this? Is SB600 not allowed in Ca? Thanks
The SB-600 is not allowed in CA.
I have 620sq ft stamped concrete how much of the SB600 two coats will I need?
5-6 gallons.
Can SB-350 be used on bluestone coping? When applying this to my pool patio pavers, some got sprayed on my pool coping. It doesn’t look bad, it just darkened it a bit in the spots it was sprayed. It is noticeable though so I was wondering if I should just continue on and just use it on the bluestone as well for a uniform look. If not, would the sb-350 blotches come out if I power washed the coping? Thanks for your help
When applying a wet look sealer to natural stone, it can dry blotchy. Not sure if it will do this or not to your coping. You cannot pressure wash it off and stripping would be nearly impossible without damaging the nearly pool water or pavers that are sealed.
Help! My stamped concrete walkway is blistered from a cheap Bayer sealer I put on it a few years ago. Water got under it, it turned white, etc. All the perils folks have been talking about in the thread. I used a concrete cleaner and I power washed which seemed to removed a good amount of it, but there is obviously sealer remaining and it looks terrible now due to the blistering of the old sealer. I understand I am going to need to strip the thing and then reseal with a quality product. I like shiny and dark. Can… Read more »

Use the Super Seal 25 after:

I recently purchased this product (sb-350) and I’m about to use it on my patio pavers next week. Would this work on limestone steps and pillar caps as well or do I seal them with something else? The steps/caps are a matte finish, grey color and stain very easily. I just want to seal and protect them and I don’t necessarily want the wet look for them. Any suggestions?
Do not use this on limestone, it will dry blotchy. Try a regular water repellent like Super Seal-M.
Have aggregate retaining wall, pic attached. Previous seal diamond coat solvent wet look. Can I use the sb600 product to reseal?
Yes, it should be okay.
Have exposed aggregate. Previously sealed with Diamond Coat solvent sealer, pic attached. Can I use shield 600 product?
Is it slippery when wet, I’am looking to use it around my pool stamped concrete deck. THANKS
Typically no.
Should I add a grit to it?
It is not possible to add a grip into the SB-600 since it is a penetrating sealer.
