We chose Base Coat for the shop floor edge because the surface was not one even shade. Once the concrete was clean, it made the concrete look more uniform before color. The stain step on the shop floor edge felt easier after this dried.
Helpful for old concrete that had several different tones. It gave us a more uniform starting point before the stain.
This helped prep the tired driveway apron, which had been ignored for a while. We pressure washed the slab the day before, then it rolled across the open area cleanly. It helped the whole driveway apron look more consistent. The final result looked cleaner than expected.
I used this on a garage floor before stain and sealer. It gave the floor a cleaner base and the stain bonded well.
I used the Base Coat because our garage entry had a mix of old and newer concrete. With the surface ready, the coverage was steady across the older concrete. It helped the whole garage entry look more consistent.
