Step 1
Prepping the Concrete Surface
Good preparation is the key to any successful project:
First, scrape off old, peeling paint.
Then thoroughly wash with Olympic Premium Deck Cleaner to remove dirt, mildew, grease and algae.
Next, power wash on low to moderate pressure to remove all the cleaning product. Let the concrete thoroughly dry.
Last, fill cracks or depressions over 1/4-inch.

Step 2: Part 1
Apply the first coat of RESCUE IT! MAX
Apply the first of two required applications of Olympic Rescue It! Max Resurfacer.
Before you start, double check the weather forecast so you can complete the project without interruption. You need a few nice, dry days in a row – no rain in the forecast for the duration of the project, and for at least 24 hours after each coat. Also, the temperature should be between 50 and 90 degrees, both day and night.
The surface should be thoroughly clean and completely dry before you apply the first coat of Olympic Rescue It! Max Resurfacer. To make sure, test for condensation and the presence of moisture. Watch this video to learn about a very simple test that will let you know if your surface is completely dry.

Drying time is 48 hours for foot traffic, and an additional 72 hours before replacing any furniture or heavy objects. Drying times will vary depending on weather and the condition of the surface.*

Step 3
Maintaining Your Concrete Surface
Once your concrete has been resurfaced, you will want to keep it looking great year after year. Along with checking for damaged concrete, you should wash the surface once or twice a year with a premium deck cleaner.
Olympic Premium Deck Cleaner is applied at full strength with a deck care sprayer or a plastic pump-style garden sprayer and hose.
