Great video! Short and to the point by someone who obviously knows what they're talking about. Much appreciated!!!

I found this very informative and correct. As a pressure cleaning business owner in Australia, this is something i do fairly often.
There are 2 things in the pressure washing side of things that you could improve on, though:
1. Use a turbo nozzle to clean out the cut joints and around the edges of the concrete surface.
2. Use a surface cleaner rather than a buffer. The surface cleaner will remove any lines from using a lance, but also will give a move evened appearance.
One thing on the sealing side of things:
1. If you are solo, then you can use just rollers with trays as your application method. It's not as good, but it can be done if you have no one else to help you.

Aside from that, this was a very good explanation. 👍

Thank you, Thank you. I put pavers all around my house but I did not know about leaf stains or how to clean them. All the other websites and videos talked about their “secret ingredient” which I found out was bleach. Your video was simple and to the point and really worked well on all the pavers. Thank you.

Lots of great info here. Thanks very much.

[jesiahwahl]

What would y’all pay or charge for this job? I read the standard varies from $0.75 to $2.00 for a concrete driveway

[lgallant]

Thanks for a great video! How long should new concrete cure before sealing?

[dthur]

Is there a type of caulk that can be put in the sawcuts that will keep it playable and keep the dirt out ?!?

[IsaiahSch]

Hi Jeff, thank you for the useful video! I have a question. You referenced cleaning off the excess film if you get too much on. What is the best method for cleaning that white film off after you coat it?

[markjohnson]

Great video. Very detailed on the important parts. How well does this help to prevent oil from staining the driveway?

[KickButtMarketing]

Well done, however, when it comes to sealing pavers as I see a couple of folks here referenced, wouldn't you be more inclined to use something like EasySpray 309?

Are you supposed to see roller or brush marks when the paint is dry? I think my drive way looks terrible because all I just had it painted and I see roller marks and brush marks on the entire drive way. I don't think I should be seeing that, am I right?

Hi there, thanks for this. I tried to run D-Sheild through a craftsmen battery powered sprayer and it kept gumming up the sprayer. Does that Chapin sprayer ever get gummed up or has it been able to spray consistently for a long time? Or could my tip have not let enough sealing out?

Great video, and I've watched A LOT! Best one for sure. I am going to use this on my sidewalk which is 25ft x 4.2ft. Do you recommend a tool to apply the product? A push broom? Will it damage the push broom?

[Threedog]

I would think the clean to seal time is dependent on how the concrete dries after washing. Isn't that dependent on outside temperature and humidity? I live on the Tx gulf coast. On a humid day, I can put water on my driveway and it's still visibly wet a few days later. I think for this to work for me best is to wait for a cold front to blow through and drop the humidity down a lot.

[Threedog]

I pressure wash every year. Will this process last longer? I have lived in my house 25+ years and the concrete is getting rough from the yearly washing. Yeah, I do a DEEP wash.

[UncleBoogy]

I recently sealed my concrete and noticed it is rather slick I worry about the kids falling is there a product I could add and do a third coat to my already sealed driveway

[NicKennelty]

Hey how does this do against rust? And how do you treat rust?
