Top Coat Guide - AcquaTint
⚠️ Important: When You Need a Clear Topcoat Over AcquaTint™
AcquaTint™ is a complete color-and-seal product for most applications. For many residential patios, interior floors, and low-traffic surfaces, two coats of AcquaTint™ is the finished job. However, a clear topcoat is either recommended or required in certain situations:
| Application | Topcoat Needed? | What to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Interior floors (general) | Recommended | ProWax Polish™ — acts as a sacrificial layer that protects the color finish from daily wear. Easy to reapply as it wears. |
| Exterior low-traffic (patios, walkways) | Not required | AcquaTint™ alone is sufficient |
| Exterior high-traffic (driveways, commercial) | Recommended | A clear water-based concrete sealer for added durability |
| Slip resistance required (pool decks, stairs, ramps) | Required | Clear water-based concrete sealer + OxiGrip™ slip-resistant additive |
