I agree to everything posted so far. Sanding the ledge first is important. I have had the best results with clear lacquer (resin based).This one works great (I'm German so you might have to find a equivalent)https://www.hornbach.de/shop/Kunstharz-Klarlack-seidenmatt-750-ml/5244791/artikel.htmlResin based lacquer is more expensive than other lacquers and it needs a bit more time to dry fully.You can use other lacquers as well. I recommend you look at the can to see if the lacquer can sustain scratches ("kratz und stoßfest"). Regular paint or water based lacquer doesn't relly work at all for ledges.

has anyone ever used an angle grinder to speed up the rub brick process?
If you can't handle me at my Marc Johnson, you don't deserve me at my Bobby Puleo.
They use a clear, spray-on Rustoleum lacquer, I think if its painted, repaint that somebitch to a similar color, let dry, & spray lacquer.
Rained last night the ledge was able to sit about ~12 hours before the rain came. i noticed all the water is beading off of it very nicely. it doesnt look like it will rain the rest of the day so might be able to get some wax on it before i go home. hopefully dont need to re apply the lacquer now
I’ve become an advocate for brush-on lacquer. Draws way less attention and it’s easier to get an even coat. When I’ve sprayed lacquer on in the past it always ends up a bit uneven. Either way, a round of rub brick, two coats of lacquer, and a little bit of wax will make almost anything grind real nice.
For anyone interested just put this on a ledge and shit goes. Just one coat, looks weird when applying but dries clear. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Sakrete-Cure-N-Seal-128-fl-oz-Polyurethane-Masonry-Sealer-for-Concrete/3506628
For filling cracks I used JB weld and its super easy....it's just putty you roll around in your hands (with gloves on) stick it in the crack, leave it....I just waxed over it and it held up.
