How to Use RESCUE IT! MAX on Concrete

Follow these videos for using RESCUE IT!® MAX on your concrete surface


When it comes to protecting and extending the life of your worn and weathered concrete surface, the 3-step system from Olympic Rescue It! Max will help you do the job right.

How to prep your concrete surface

The first step is to prep the surface. Good preparation is the key to any successful project and because preparation is directly tied to the application and success of this high performance product, you owe it to yourself to follow every step, without shorts cuts, to help ensure the best possible results.


Next, you should check the forecast for the perfect time to complete this project. You’re looking for a few nice, dry days in a row – this means no rain in the forecast. Also, look for a time when temperatures will be between 50 and 90 degrees, both day and night. 

How to apply the first coat of RESCUE IT! MAX

Before you get started, 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 now be thoroughly clean and completely dry before you apply the first coat of Rescue It! MAX resurfacer.  To make sure, test for condensation and the presence of moisture. Watch the video above to learn about a very simple test that will let you know if your surface is completely dry. 

How to apply the second coat of RESCUE IT! MAX

It’s been at least six hours since you applied the first coat of Rescue it! MAX Resurfacer + Primer + Sealant and the surface is completely dry.

Now it’s time to apply the second coat. Check the forecast one more time to ensure there is no rain for at least 24 hours after you apply the second coat. Then, you’re ready to get started.

How to maintain your concrete

Congratulations! By this point, you’ve successfully applied Olympic Rescue It! Max Resurfacer + Primer + Sealant and have been enjoying all the benefits of your newly revitalized concrete surface. Now you’re ready to move on to the essential third step in the Rescue It process - maintaining it with Rescue It! Max Maintenance Wash

Rescue It! Max Maintenance Wash is ready to use right out of the container with no dilution necessary. One gallon will clean up to two hundred and fifty square feet, but it will depend on the age and texture of the surface you’re washing.

When you make use of the complete three step process from Olympic RESCUE IT! MAX, you can look forward to extending the life of your surface and enjoying your well cared for outdoor space.
