Concrete Sealer

Anyone have recommendation on a concrete sealer for garage floor, sidewalk, and driveway? Not looking for the epoxy stuff. Just something that will waterproof and salt guard the concrete. I've read some good stuff about the following sealers. Anyone used these before?

I've used Aquapel+ and it seems to work pretty well. Not sure where you're located but they carry it at Prarie Rose Supply in Bismarck. I have it on my driveway and park pad. We have also been using it on the new concrete at my office.

I'm located in the Bismarck/Mandan area. I'll look into the aquapel+. I know SMI and Brock White both carry the prosoco saltguard. I'm kind of leaning that way now since the ghostshield is quite a bit more expensive.

Try petrotex, non topical penetrating sealer. The topical sealers tend to be more of a pain as they require more maintenance

I agree and some of the topical get slippery when wet

Both of those listed above are penetrating sealers, and will leave no residue once dry/cured. I'm guessing it's probably along the same lines as the one you've listed. I'll compare them.

spec shield wd is one that we have used in car washes and works well also.

We have a cinder block wall that we are going to paint this winter. Moisture comes through the wall and it tends to leak as the adjacent room is a kiln. Would any of these products help to seal the cinder block?
