Driveway sealers?

[kevreh]

Anyone use any decent products they recomend? Seems like the cheaper ones from Lowes/HD get bad reviews. Maybe they don't sell good brands? Rustoleam has one thats gets good reviews but is spendy, like $50 for 2 gallons.

For concrete? I have used Behr Premium 5-gal. Protector and Waterproofer ($100). I chose it because it is a silane/siloxane sealant. It has worked good so far.

I usually don't recommend Home Depot but I used this about 2yrs ago and it's holding up pretty good.

Do 2 thin coats. Turn the bucket upside down overnight and mix well. They added sand which is nice for traction.

I used a squeegee and keep the driveway wet as you go. When I say wet I mean with the product not water. Otherwise you will have streaking.

It's jet black but not super shiny I suppose the sand takes some of the sheen away

You can buy a commercial grade product but you will pay for it.
Good luck

Yeah, meant for asphalt. Didnt know people sealed cincrete driveways. Thx though.

Billybob, thats the one Im looking at unless I can find something better for the $. I guess 2+ years isnt bad. Thanks for the tips.

I also used this. It's almost 4 years old, has faded to grey, but still looks good. To save some money I used an old push-broom to apply. Our asphalt was rough and worn, it would have taken many, many 5 gallon buckets. We used 5 buckets in two thin coats with the broom. Fill any cracks first or they'll return after application. Good luck!

Doing the same research here. Never used any of the stuff, our driveway is chipping away and looks to need a coat. My research so far has pointed to getting something Acrylic.

The new Rustoleum sealer reviews are boom or bust, nothing in-between.
