Does anybody have anything good to say about this product for concrete. Very rough surface.

I only used the wood deck version and had a lot of issues after just a few months.

It may work better on concrete rather than wood - which is what I had. However the risk you are running is that you spend a lot of money and time (as I did) only to have to rip the whole stuff up again. I'd try another product if I were you.

We followed the directions and watched the DVD to prep our 1000 sq. ft. of wood decking. Within 3 months it started to chip, crack and peel off. I can't speak to how it is on concrete, however, I would stay away from this product altogether. Apparently the Behr product that is on the market to restore decks is equally as poor as the Rust-Oleum product.

That is exactly why I bought it-a limestone basement wall that was seeping. Yes it should if it isn't too extensive. I assume concrete would not be as bad/porous as crumbling limestone. So far I have used two coats but have to do that to see where it is still leaking. It appears to be a really effective product if repair is within reason (not sure mine is) L. Bane, Pittsburgh, PA

It sounds like you have a standard "grinder" that typically uses metal or concrete grinding or cut off wheels. If you are considering using your grinder for the concrete polishing pads consider that these polishing pads will work dry BUT they will burn out quickly and it will be difficult to get an even smooth appearance. In my experience they aren't best used dry but with a wet polisher. I only use the pads with a wet polisher - mine is a makita and it works great. I recently did 3 countertops - one was about 2x11 and the others were much smaller. The pads worked very well. With projects the size of mine you will need multiple pads per grit. Hope this helps.

I've never used it on concrete... But I have used it on small projects that I've put outdoors and it holds well with rain.

No- this is not a product that will last outdoors on concrete. Get the sealer. Done right the first time is cheaper than doing it over..lol!

I used the concrete restorer on my broomed concrete deck. A portion of the deck is under porch. This portion still looks good after 6 months. The portion exposed to the elements looks like crap in thst it has peeled up. This peeling started almost immediately after the application. I have had the same experience with the product designed for wood or concrete. Wish I could attach photos to my reviews. It is ashame this product does not perform as advertised because I have always had good luck with Rust-Oleum products. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT. I have told Home Depot & Lowes they should stop selling this product.. I used the concrete restorer on my broomed concrete deck. A portion of the deck is under porch.

Sorry it took me so long to get email. I think it would possibly remove rust off concrete. I would wet it down then apply iron out. let it sit.

hmmmmm.... It might be OK. I don't know if it would wear well if the floor you were using it on had any type of rough surface.

I would say it's not suitable for loose gravel. Ideal for smooth concrete and tarmac surfaces.

we use it in a warehouse with smooth and lightly rough cement and it does the trick. Wet surfaces it will pick up debri but not good so I would not recommend it for wet areas of any kind.

I have not done this, but from my experience using it for wood, if the underlying surface is flat and smooth, then it should work.If the concrete has a rough or dimpled surface, then it will not work well at all. I would use a wire brush in that case.

I currently have this on a painted concrete wall. The surface is far from smooth and it sticks just fine.

I have had mine in concrete and have not had a problem. We have many temblors and this product has worked well. BTW, I live in Costa Rica.

I don't know about concrete. You might need something alittle stronger, but for wood and tile it will do great. This product is a all natural cleaner.

It will certainly be able to grind down the material. The metal disk is especially aggressive and can quickly eat through concrete. The polishing pads aren't nearly as aggressive, there's quite a performance gap in-between the metal grinding cup and the coarsest pad (though that's not a problem for regular use, I'm just saying your options might be limited for what you're doing). As another person said however, this is a messy process. Even when you make good use of the leather velcro strap and a wet/dry vacuum to help contain the water, it gets everywhere.

I use it for chiseling stucco and concrete floors and it does a great job it also works well on tile floors I would say it works good on 3-4 inch concrete projects I don't think this would work on tearing up a whole concrete floor hope this helps

This is carpet cleaner. I can't even think it could do anything for concrete.
