We got a new concrete pad and pathway poured at the end of our driveway and leading to our side door right before winter and unknowingly put down an ice melt with salt in it. Obviously it started wearing away at our new concrete's finish -- oops! -- so we needed a product to protect the remaining finish. This was easy to use, dried quickly, and leaves a nice, shiny finish that I'm sure will protect our concrete in the winter months. Highly recommend if you're looking to protect or just spruce up any concrete around your home!
