Review: Easier to use than you think! - I have now used this stain on three different concrete pads and it's awesome. The first time I used it, I followed the directions to the letter. Lightly wet the concrete then spray the acid with a clean bug sprayer (a pain when it's 75 degrees and sunny and the water evaporates faster than you can spray)... wait a few hours... neutralize the acid with a mixture of ammonia and water... scrub the black residue that comes up during the reaction... clean the concrete.... wait a day or two, then seal it. The color came out great. Looked a little dull like the last photo in this review, but once I sealed it, it looks more like the second to last photo (I did not use a wet-look seal so it doesn't look AS shiny.) The second time I used it, it happened to snow within about an hour of me finishing the spraying. Unable to neutralize the acid, I figured it would just come out darker since it would be sitting on the concrete for longer. It came out THE SAME. After the snow, it rained a little here and there and with the water melting off the concrete and a little rain hitting it, the black residue came off completely on it's own. This saved my back since I didn't have to bug spray the whole thing a second time with the ammonia or manually scrub off the black on my hands and knees. We like a rich orange/rust color so I was happy that the final color is exactly the same as our first pad (the two seconds of concrete touch each other so I was hoping it would come out very similar in color). The THIRD time we've used this acid stain are the photos I've posted here. This time, I was going to work smarter - not harder. It had rained prior to me applying the acid so the pad was already wet. It ended up being a little too wet and when I sprayed, the acid flowed into a couple low spots and pooled, you can kind of see where that happened. For our use, this doesn't bother me. But if you want an even color, make sure your pad doesn't have any spots where there is pooled water. I sprayed the acid and just left it. The first photo is about four hours after I sprayed it (it rained on and off all day). The black residue basically covered the entire pad. I wet the concrete with the hose and tried to scrub it with a shop broom but I was convinced it was stuck on there. When the pad completely dried out, that is the second photo with some white crusty residue. So I decided to wet the pad again (the third photo) to show me how much black residue was left. There wasn't much, so I decided to give it just a little pass over with a shop broom while wet and let it dry out again to see if more came off. It ended up raining the rest of the day and POOF the fourth picture is what I found a few hours later! The fifth picture I just took and is how the pad looks with no sealer and no moisture. Looks dusty but I promise it will have a rich color more like the fourth picture when I put the sealer on. I should have just let the rain wash away the black residue and saved myself some vigorous scrubbing but I doubted myself for a minute. Sorry for this hugely long review but essentially what I'm trying to say is this stuff is WAY easier to use and way harder to mess up than you think!! Just some regular watering after acid staining will save you a lot of trouble.
Review: It looked beautiful for years - I am absolutely THRILLED with how this turned out. We had a stamped concrete patio done in 2004 and they didn't use integral color. Instead they threw one color on top of the concrete and floated it in, then threw a 2nd terracotta color on top when they did the stamping. It looked beautiful for years, but since I didn't keep up with the sealing, gradually just about ALL the color faded. I had been contemplating doing this for years, but hesitated because I was terrified I'd pick the "wrong" color. I had a contractor come out a couple years ago and give me a quote ... I think it was ~$3000 to have it professionally done. I told the guy I thought I could do it myself, but was afraid of picking the wrong color - as he pointed out, "it couldn't look much worse than it already does, right?" So I bit the bullet and did it! Prep to finish probably took me four days. Advice: 1. PREP!! When they say to tape off where you don't want stain, they mean it. I've spent way too much time with the Goof Off getting it off my white siding (along with some of the siding finish!) Also, even though your concrete may look clean, use a cleaner ... we had some spots by the grill where there must have been grease on the concrete that didn't take stain too well. 2. If you have low-lying areas on your concrete, do your best to make sure it's dry-dry. The biggest challenge for me was finding the right time to do it ... not too cold, not too hot, hasn't rained for a few days, isn't GOING to rain for a few days, etc. 3. After I stained, neutralized and rinsed, rinsed, rinsed it was still too orange/dark for me (and I had diluted 50/50 stain and water... in fact that's another thing... I got WAY too much stain!) I pressure washed and took off JUST enough color that now it's perfect! 4. To seal it, I thought I'd roll the whole thing. But it was exhausting, I got a blister, and was fighting to get it in all the nooks and crannies. I finally gave in and used the sprayer ... it was MUCH easier! So if you've been waiting to do this, my advice is JUST DO IT! :-)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works.
*by C***E on June 23, 2026*

Product did work even on concrete that color was put into mix before pouring. It wasn't left on very long before it was neutralized with ammonia. Since concrete was colored already from the plant it didn't take long to see results.
