What could someone put on concrete/pavement to make it appear wet, and stay like that for months?

Question

My gf and I have been taking walks lately and there is one section of concrete in a parking lot that looks as if someone spilled water on it. I noticed that it has never dried.

What could someone put on concrete or pavement to make it look wet, and stay that way?

Answer 1

There are stone enhancers and sealers that will do that. Check at a tile store or hardware store.

Answer 2

some sort of concrete sealer...like they use on stained concrete floors. They usually dont do that for parking lots. The finishers could have "burned" the surface by over-troweling the surface. This also results in a shiny look.

Answer 3

There are plenty of wet look concrete sealers. Check out Home Depot, Lowe's or any hardware store.

Answer 4

It is a sealer. My sister did her driveway in stamped concrete and they sealed it, it still looks wet after a year in Minnesota weather.

Answer 5

Shellacks will do this. It is something that you paint on, and it dries shiny. Like the sealants that you might use on a wood floor.
