THE KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL DRIVEWAY CLEANING & SEALING IN BRISBANE

Use steaming hot water to give the deepest high pressure clean. Any driveway sealing will only ever be as good as the driveway clean prior to sealing. If you don't get a really deep clean then this will show when the driveway is sealed, because that's what sealers do.......they highlight the features of a driveway! So if there are some stains or uneven cleaning, then it will simply highlight these.
Use only high quality sealers. The cheaper ones tend to go yellow under the harsh UV light from the sun.
You need to apply multiple coats of sealer to get a deep lustre.
Make sure you select the correct sealer for your type of driveway.
Don't trap any moisture inside the concret when sealing your driveway

TOPICAL DRIVEWAY SEALING

This is the most common type of driveway sealers due to it's relatively low cost but mainly due to it's ability to enhance the colours and features of the driveway.
This type of driveway sealer is available in either a Gloss or Matt finish. The major difference between them is that the Gloss just leaves a wet look shine on the driveway. It really brings the colours out and then adds the sparkle with the Gloss sealer finish. Where the Matt sealer finish just brings out the colours in the driveway and leaves the driveway with a nice satin type of look, without all the sparkle.
Topical sealer basically means that the driveway sealer is applied directly over the top of the concrete and forms a barrier that is generally impervious to most oils and acids. So as long as they are cleaned up quickly there will be no stain left behind.
Not only will this type of driveway sealing make your driveway look awesome, it will keep it clean for the life of the product by stopping things getting down into the concrete that may cause a stain to develope.
Topical driveway sealing is best applied by a roller or broom as it allows better adhesion to the existing surface below it, ensuring no delamination in the future.
This type of driveway sealer is by far the most popular choice for residential driveways as it greatly enhanses the look of the driveway.

PENETRATING SEALING

The penetrating driveway sealers do just as the name suggests, they penetrate down into the concrete and protect from within. So they soak down inside the concrete leaving the surface to feel the same as it did before the sealer was applied.
Penetrating driveway sealers generally don't have any enhancing properties for the driveway, they just stop stains from soaking down inside the concrete.
NEW in 2016 - Penetrating sealers that offer enhancing features. So you can now seal your driveway with a penetrating sealer that still enhances the look of the stones etc without changing the feel or grip levels of the surface. It doesn't offer any shine, just an enhancement of the stones and concrete.
Penetrating driveway sealers are generally best applied by low pressure sprayers and then broomed in wet.
You will need to avoid pooling with penetrating sealers otherwise you can have issues with a consistant looking finish.
This type of sealer is by far the most popular for body corporate work, or commerial sealing where slip minimization is very important. For example, public walkways, paths, malls, public BBQ areas and common areas in body corporate complexes.
