Supreme Shield SB-600 Wet Look Sealer
For 2025, 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.

Regarding the SB600 or SB350 that you recommended: Is the coverage of 75-150 sf based on one or two coats? In otherwords, for 500sf with 2 coats applied how many gallons is needed? I have solid cement mortar joints (not sand) between my wire-cut brick pavers – will the SB600 or 350 seal over the solid cement mortar joints too? When future resealing is necessary over the SB600 or 350 applied, do you have to strip off the existing SB600/350? Are samples available of the SB600 or 350? THANKS
Sq footage is for two light coats. It should seal over the cement joints. Just clean and really as needed in the future. As for samples, you would have to ask them.
If you don’t use all the SB350 purchased, how long a life span will the remaining amount have when stored in a sealed container? Thanks for the reply.
Maybe a year if opened.
Hi I have a bowral brown solid dry pressed face brick wall that I would like to prevent water ingress from the rain penetrating the brick over heavy raining days, what clear sealer can you recommend and how long would it last before it will need to be reapplied , is there any product you can recommend to give me at least a 20 year life span , currently over a coupe of days with heavy heavy rain the water penetrates the dry pressed bowral brown face brick and runs down the cavity of the double brick wall home and… Read more »
Masonry Saver Vertical Brick Water Repellent. Last about 6 years or so. Nothing will last 20.
In your reply to my request for a sealer with a no sheen wet look on my wire-cut brick pavers & brick pool coping, you recommended SB600. The issue with the sealer is that it may do little to protect (solidify) the mortar joints between the brick pavers. If my assumption is correct, is there any sealer that’s similar to the SB600 that also provides the joint solidification? Thanks, Mike
No, it is not possible from what we have been told. It needs a heavier amount of acrylic to harden the sand joints and if you do this, you will then leave a shine as well to the surface.
Stamped concrete patio previously sealed with a laquer base sealant. Can I use this product? Spray or roll?
Post a picture of the current sealer on the patio.
Who sells supreme shield SB 600
Search online: http://www.opwdecks.com/wet-look-no-gloss.htm
Can you use supreme shield SB 600 on Unilock pavers?
Yes.
Is this water-based? My newly poured, colored, stamped concrete has not yet cured but I plan to use this sealer when I do. If I use SB-600 every 2 years, do I have to remove the previous layer, or can I re-apply every 2 years without any prep work? Should I wait 30 days to seal my freshly poured concrete?
It is solvent-based. Clean and redo every 2 years is normal. You can seal it now.
Can SB-600 be applied over a newly sealed brick patio?
It was sealed with a product for joint stabilization with no gloss but would prefer a more wet look?
No, it will not work now to enhance the color since it is already sealed.
Is supreme shield SB-600 compatible with Super Diamond clear
No. The SB-600 is a wet look sealer without gloss. Diamond clear is a wet look sealer with high gloss.
What about Super Seal 30 Concrete & Paver Sealer; can this be applied over Diamond clear (e.g., Diamond Clear was applied approx 2-years ago)?
Yes as long as the Diamond Clear has not discolored by turning white which is what it is prone to do since it is a solid acrylic that is not breathable.
What if the paverrs have a sealant on them ???
It depends on the sealer type and how long ago it was applied? Pictures would help.
What if the pavers have a sealant on them ???
can this product be tinted to darken the clear? I have a tiled patio, kind of terracotta color, I had cement poured next to it with color added but is not quite dark enough to match, so would like to put a little more red hue to the poured cement,,, and can this be put on the tile, which does not seem at all porus, but is 20 years old.
No, it cannot be tinted.
2 yrs ago I used a sealer product by the name of MasterKure CC 250 XS formerly Kure-N-Seal 25ES. ..After reviewing your product (supreme shield SB-600), I want to use it to reseal my stamped concrete. I was once told, the product you initially used should always be the one used going forward (re-coating)…Is there any truth to that.??..Is there any concerns if I use your product for my upcoming application ???.
Your issue is that the previous coating created a shine but the SB-600 does not. If you apply the SB-600 over it, it will adhere but the shine from the previous sealer will still be prevalent.
I have 1700 Sq ft of stamped concrete…Is QTY 3-5 gallon cans enough for this size patio ??
It should be.
There is an SB-350 version that is available as a lower-VOC option for those states which require it. Not required for my state, but have read some reviews about the odor of SB-600 being quite strong during application and cure, to the point some people had to vacate their homes for a bit. Are you aware of the SB-350 version and if it performs the same as SB-600? Another website opined there is no difference in performance, but they also sell the product, so prefer an objective opinion here. Thanks!
Also for 700 sq ft of brick pavers (4×8’s) is a 5-gallon pail enough for both coats? Or should I get an extra gallon or two? Note the pavers are about 15 years old and were just pressure-washed and re-sanded with polysweep sand.
The odor and the performance are the same between the two. Low VOC does not mean low in odor. You will need 7 gallons for this.
Got it, thanks. Waiting on weather now. Any advice on rollers to use for this? The box stores never heard of a “solvent resietant roller” and no one heard of such a thing, they think a roller for oil-based paint would be fine.
Oil-based roller is fine.
I have a concrete paver patio which have faded. We like the wet look. Would you recommend the Supreme Shield SB-600 sealer? The patio is 600 square feet. How many gallons would I need. Also, Is one coat sufficient or should a put down a second coat? I live in NJ. Thanks
2 light coats with the SB-600. About 3-4 gallons.
That’s 3-4 gallons for 1 coat? 2 coats would require 7-8 gallons? The coverage per gallon states 75 – 150 sq ft
Is the 3-4 gallons for 1 coat? The coverage states 75 – 150 sq ft. How many gallons for 2 coats?
2 coats. To be safe, get a 5-gallon pail.
I am from Canada and looking for this product.
Do you know if it can shipped to Southern Ontario ?
No, it is not allowed in Canada.
Have a 3 year old stamped concrete pool deck. They originally used cerivex ac 1315 from Xexcon. It was really hot in the summer and extremely slippery when wet. What do you Recommend?
Try the SB-600.
Have 10 year old stamped concrete. Recently sandblasted due to large area spalling, superficial. Can this product be used for this application?
Yes.
I have a water features (waterfall) that was made with porcelain tiles and I want to enhance their color with a wet look and sealer. Which one do you recommend?
We do not know what will work on your tiles. Sorry.
I Have stamped colored concrete 1200 ft.² with Butterfields 25 that has whitened. any ideas. I’ve also used specchem 25 with the same results we live in Raleigh North Carolina. It turns white every year regardless of what I have used. I pressure wash it let it dry spray it on and back roll it. looks great for about a summer and then turns white
You will need to chemically strip it all off.
I have exposed aggregate around my inground pool and it has not been sealed previously. What type of sealer would you recommend.
The Supreme Shield SB-600 would work well.
I have porous brick pavers that are in a sand base near the pool. I would like a seal that is not
Shiny and will keep the weeds and worms from getting into pool.
Any suggestions
Look at using the Surebond SB-1300 for this.
Is the SB600 a good choice for a stamped concrete pool deck? Is it slippery?
Typically it is not slippery but f was sealed previously, then you would be at the mercy of the previous sealer type.
Hi….just power washed my brick driveway in Florida (lots of sun). Any suggestions on product for sealing and maybe returning some of the reddish brown color to it? Thx.
Use the Supreme Shield SB-600.
Powerwashing my front and back patio today to prep for a DIY seal.
Was going to try the SB-600 wet look sealer, is this what you would recommend? Apply with 1 inch nap roller?
Also, would you recommend stripping before applying sealer?
It does not look like you will need to strip. The SB-600 will work for you.
When is the best time to apply this sealer to fresh concrete?
Regular plain poured concrete or decorative concrete?
My pavers are discolored. I sprayed the pavers with liquid chlorine, brushed it in and let stand for about 15 minutes then pressure washed them with a 3000PSI pressure washer using a 25 degree nozzle and no change. Is there a sealer with a terracotta tint to restore the color. Photo of the pavers attached.
Clean properly with an efflorescence cleaner to remove the white deposits and then use the Supreme Shield SB-600 to restore the color. Sealers do not come tinted.
Question- What is a cost effective sealer for newly finished concrete floors? The floor surface is shiny (polished) but would like to enhance that look and provide a curing aid for the concrete at the same time. (I am a concrete floor contractor). Not looking for a product for sidewalks or decorative/stamped finishes as i am happy with what i use currently.
If it is “shiny” polished, a penetrating enhancing sealer will probably not be able to soak in and work correctly. The low porosity of the surface would repel the sealer.
How often does this need to reapplied? We have a stamped concrete pool deck in Arizona. Also, can this be applied with a garden pump sprayer?
You cannot apply with a plastic sprayer. You can with a metal one. Every 2 years is normal.
Came across your site by accident and think it is fantastic. I love the review on SB-600, any reason it would not work outside on travertine pavers? It’s just want I want to achieve, wet look-no gloss.
Thanks!
It should work well for the Tavertine.
Thank you. Order going in!
Will this work on exterior house brick walls that were painted with dye brick stain? J tuckpointed after painting bricks gray. washed with acid and bricks are light in areas due to the mortar stains.once wet it looks ver nice all even and a little darker. Would this product give the brick a wet look permanently if it can be used on these wall bricks
No. A wet look sealer will not work over paint.
I sealed my pavers with this product last week. But I’m noticing any water on it produces whit water spots. Is this normal. I sure don’t like it!
Post a picture. It could just be mineral deposits from the water as it dries. If so, it wipes off with a wet rag.
If this product repells water and oil, can you tell me how this performs in colder climates? I’m specifically wondering if by applying this product, will it make my driveway more slippery in the winter when snow falls on it or when it is wet?
It is a penetrating sealer so it should not make it slippery.
Can this be applied onto 15 year old pavers? They will first be cleaned by Powerwashing. Also can a home owner do the application or is a professional preferable? How is it applied. Finally, how can I remove oil from my pavers since Powerwashing does not do the trick?
You need a Concrete Cleaner Degreaser to remove the oil. You can easily apply it. Works great!
Can the wet look sealer be used on old blue slate walkway?
Not on blue slate.
I have a washed aggregate walkway and patio that has not been resealed since the initial seal 10 years ago. It appears that the original sealer was a shiny sealant based on where the doormat was covering. I want the wet look without being slippery when wet or shiny. Will the SB-600 work in this application? Do I need to be concerned about the type of original sealer put on 10 years ago? What would you recommend as a cleaner?
A non-gloss sealer will not remove the gloss of an old glossy sealer. It will still show glossy. You could try stripping it. https://www.concretesealerreview.com/how-to-strip-a-paver-sealer/
Also, what is the best crack filler for stamped concrete that I can “pour” in and seal out a New Jersey freezing winter? The crack is about an 1/8th to a 1/4″ in width.
Sorry, but we do not have experience with crack filler for stamped.
FYI, taking a look into concretemender by Roadware company for smaller crack filling.
I have a stamped concrete pool deck that we have been sealing with Super Seal 30 but it fades away within 2 months. I have been sealing with a roller and one coat. It gets white and blotchy. What is going wrong here and will Supreme Seild work here>
Try just applying xylene to the sealer to restore the shine and remove the white haze instead of sealing. You spray the xylene on and let it reset the sealer. You can get it at any paint store.
Thanks, I will try it.
We have colorful river rock in the yard and it looks great when it is wet. Is there something that will coat the rock and give us the “wetlook”.
Post a picture.
how long does the odor last
A few days.
Hi, I read an article that suggested “low solids content” to help prevent white hazing on stamped/stained concrete. What is the solids content of the Supreme Shield SB-600 – and can you provide names of “low solids content” sealers for stamped/stained concrete? Thanks, Rory S. Illinois
Not sure on the solid contents of all sealers. Best to ask the manufacturers directly.
Ok, thanks.
I have a pool area with stones pavers surrounding it. They are unlevel and I would like to re-level and then seal the pavers and the gaps. Which product would be best for this. I would like it to be colourless and keep the colour of the pavers which is an off white, is this product clear. I would obviously like the pool to look flat and level but not slippery, which products are the best for pool areas and being wet then out in the harsh sun. Thanks
This product will enhance the color similar to as if wet with water. Is that the look you want?
Hi, I have a patio and front sidewalk that are aggregate. I last sealed them in the spring of 2015 with Diamond Clear Seal. I had previously used that product and it lasted for years. The last application lasted one year. The aggregate is totally bare now with no shine. Will Supreme Seal SB-600 last for several years? Do I need to do any prep work other than hosing the surface off and making sure it isn’t too warm?
Thanks,
Pat C.

Post a picture of the current condition.
Hi Have porch and small walkway that was previously “sealed” several years ago using Thompsons water seal… now have white haze on pavers and pavers are dull and faded. I have pressure washed and used Rustoleum Rock Solid Efflorescence remover to remove the white chalky residue to no avail. Would any of your products work to restore color and seal? Thanks
Reply with a picture.
thank you for recommending SB-6000. I see white spots in my newly laid cal stone pavers. Cal stone website says that it’s natural process and white spots will go away after some time. If I apply SB-6000 now, will white spots get trapped and will not go away? Should I wait until white spots are gone or can I apply SB-6000 now? Thank you
Wait until they are gone.
New paver patio around pool. Want wet look but not shiny or slick when wet. Is this correct product to use ?
That is correct.
Can I use this product if previously sealed Brick pavers? on Driveway and Patio?
Yes as long as the current sealer has not discolored or failed.
Previously applied sealer failed what should we use.
Depends on what you are trying to achieve with the appearance and what type of surface you are applying to?
what does failed mean? How would I know? 4 year old pavers…sunny areas look faded, under cover areas still look good. Don’t know what was used for first sealing 4 years ago. Thanks.
When a sealer fails it will turn yellow or white in color and may wear unevenly as well.
How would you apply to a concrete block retaining wall with a rough look if you don’t have a sprayer. Foam paint brush? Basically wraps part way around patio pavers so doing all at once.
You will need a sprayer. You can get a pump sprayer from a local paint store.
Is this acrylic based sealer with a solid content of 20 per cent or more?
Less than 20% acrylic.
Also …how is Supreme Shield SB-600 in comparison to CS-309-OTC….this is what they used on my patio last time they sealed it.
Never heard of CS-309-OTC
