Just had my garage slab and driveway poured. About 1050 sq ft total.
What sealer have you used or recommend?

Make sure you let it dry for 30 days before you add any sealer. I saw someone seal their slab early and they had a lot of spider cracks.

I have an exposed aggregate drive and no matter what sealer I've used, it looks like a million bucks for maybe three months then the sheen fades and it starts looking plain again. Last batch came frm a Concrete Supply store that is a wing of a local concrete company that runs a fleet of cement mixer trucks and nails a lot of the area road work and etc. That [censored] lasted no longer than the stuff from the big box home improvement store, just cost about 25% more...
I don't do it anymore, mainly because I'm riding again and when wet it makes the drive slick and with the grade on the drive I don't want to dump my bike right in my own driveway upon getting home if the ride went wet.

I used Foundation Armor S2000 on my garage floor. Easy to apply and nothing seems to absorb into the concrete. Overall I'm happy with it. I waited a few months to apply it after the concrete was poured.

Believe it or not, ArmorAll makes an excellent concrete sealer. After it's applied, water beads up on top of the concrete and can't get in. I'm guessing the ArmorAll soaks into the concrete where the water would normally go and then dries to a solid; preventing the water from entering.

This brand seems to be considered the best. Seems well worth the extra cost over others available at my local HD or Lowes.
Thanks!

I believe and appreciate your time. I looked up the product and read positive experiences.
The other product is commercial grade and last 3x as long between applications. It's also considered the best stuff on the market.
