Prepare the Surface
Thoroughly sweep and clean the surface to be stained. Use a mild cleaning solution such as our NewLook’s Concrete Degreaser. Use a putty knife or other scraper to remove any surface grime or irregularities that you don't want to show on your finished project. Rinse with clear water and sweep the surface again.
To Create Visual Interest or Variegated NewLook check out our enhancing products which offers translucent customer patterns. You can leave some areas puddled, easier if its a stamped concrete, which will dry darker. This may take more dry time depending on weather conditions.
Sealing and Protecting the Surface
