Alliance Gator Hybrid Seal High Gloss Plus Color Enhancer Water Based Paver Sealer

Why Contractors Ask for Gator Hybrid Seal High Gloss Plus Color Enhancer by Name

This is the water based answer to a solvent Wet Look: the same deep color and high shine, but low VOC, usable indoors, and it goes down at 40 F instead of 60 F.

• High gloss with vibrant color enhancement. Brings paver color up and adds a strong shine.
• Water based and low VOC at under 100 g/L, SCAQMD compliant.
• Joint stabilizer and film former in one product.
• Will not discolor and rapid to install.
• Works above 40 F, extending the sealing season at both ends.
• Guards against de-icing salt, UV, motor oil and grease staining.

Gator Hybrid Seal High Gloss Plus Color Enhancer Specifications

100 to 225 sq ft per gallon depending on joint size and paver porosity. A 5 gallon pail covers roughly 500 to 1,125 sq ft. Call or text (856) 418-4895 if you are between sizes.

Where Gator Hybrid Seal High Gloss Plus Color Enhancer Works

Alliance rates this sealer for:

• Dry cast concrete paver patios
• Pool decks and walkways
• Driveways
• Indoor concrete and natural stone
• Previously unsealed surfaces only

How to Apply Hybrid High Gloss Plus Color Enhancer

The full step by step guide is in the official documentation below. Here is the shape of the job:

1. Test roughly 4 sq ft in a hidden area. Alliance limits the warranty to that area if you skip it.
2. Remove stains with Gator Clean products, and strip any unknown coating with Gator Sealer Stripper.
3. Replace contaminated joint sand with Gator Polymeric Sand, then wait 48 hours above 60 F with no rain.
4. Clean the whole surface with Gator Efflorescence Cleaner, then wait another 48 hours to dry.
5. Spray one coat in 60 sq ft sections and back-roll with a water-base yellow foam roller to pull out excess and puddles. Two people works best.

With or Without Color Enhancer?

Same gloss level, same chemistry. The only question is whether you want the paver color changed.

• Plus Color Enhancer — deepens and enriches the color, the way pavers look when wet. Best on tumbled, textured and faded pavers.
• Standard High Gloss — keeps the color exactly as it is and adds shine only. Best when the customer already likes the color.
• Once enhanced, you cannot go back without stripping. If in doubt, seal a hidden 4 sq ft test patch and let them look at it.

Quick Answers

Can I put this over a solvent based sealer?
No. Alliance is explicit: a water based sealer can never go over a solvent based one. A solvent sealer can go over either.

How soon can it rain?
24 hours, which is longer than the 90 minutes the solvent Gator Seal line needs.

When can I walk or drive on it?
24 hours for both.

How many coats?
One. Over-application is what causes milky or blotchy patches.

Can I use it indoors?
Alliance says all their water based sealers can be used indoors on concrete or natural stone. They do not recommend the solvent ones indoors.

How long will the finish last?
Alliance puts the Hybrid water based line at 2 to 3 years, against 3 to 5 for their solvent sealers.

Can I use it on a wall?
Alliance recommends a breathable, non film-forming sealer on walls. The Hybrid line is film forming, so the Signature Series Natural Look is the better fit there.

How much will it darken my pavers?
Roughly the way they look when wet. Test a hidden 4 sq ft patch first — Alliance requires it anyway, and it settles the question.
