What to apply to exposed concrete

[streetdaddy]

I am just now getting around to treating my concrete in front of my garage. I was thinking of putting a product on it to maybe darken it just a little and maybe give it a wet look. Anybody suggest a product ? Anybody else do something like this?

I sealed my apron but it has no effect on appearance. Can i now apply a wet sealer over that?

Also, what can i apply to dress up the exposed concrete block foundation?

Our HD6600MMA would be perfect for the front area.
Here is a pic link and a product link.
There are other products on the market.

You like that floor in there, Scotty?

Could i apply that over silax-seal?

No, the SilaxSeal will likely repel it.

What is the difference between the SilaxSeal andHD6600MMA?
I need to seal my driveway and porches of a house that is just being completed.
Mainly want to ensure that the winter months they are protected form freeze/thaw cycle and also when people park on the driveway there is protection from oil leaks

sherwin williams loxon primer followed by any color latex you want (i like sherwin's emerald exterior)

Thanks guys. Kwak12r, i put the silaxseal on my apron of my garage. You literally cant tell its there visually. This may or not be what your looking for. I was kind of looking for a darkening/ semi gloss look.

SilaxSeal is a penetrating sealer, no sign of it on the surface.
HD6600MMA is a topical sealer, gloss, satin or matte. Protects but also gives a nice look.
