Hello
I have pressure washed my patio and am looking to reseal it. Does anyone have any recommendations as to which product to use to do this and or any guidance/advice or experience on how to achieve the best results.
Thank you in anticipation.

To be honest, Hett, I've never seen the point of sealing anything. Pavers/slabs etc are made to withstand normal use untreated.

Do you have a particular reason? It can be a good idea on drives. Sealing does make it easier to lift stains and spillages.

Are they just regular concrete slabs?
Question Author
basically the sealant would bring the colour back up ..... That's what I'm looking to achieve..... The concrete is called "printcrete"
If your Printcrete is just dirty and has no surface damage, the best you can hope for is a clean surface obtained using a pressure washer.
Remember there are pressure washers and there are pressure washers, you haven't stated the performance of yours. It may pay to hire a proper tool for half a day to get the best result.

Thompsons Ultra Waterseal would give you a surface less likely to stain, but wont make it any cleaner. Only the pressure of your washer will achieve this.

There's no shortage of concrete sealing products. Homer has mentioned one of the best.

Sealing will restore colour to a point; maintaining the "wet look" that you get after rain. I guess it could be re-printed, but that could be expensive. If you do start sealing, remember that it will most likely need repeating in a few years or so.
