Concrete driveway stain/sealant

[Silver R/T]

My concrete driveway looks like crap. Moved in here in 2006 and it has pits and some cracks in it. I was wondering if I could patch it up with concrete patch kit and use one of those garage epoxy paints w/flakes on it. Anyone done something like that?

I would be interested as well....I spent the 4th pressure washing my driveway...got about 1/3 done.....I usually do it every year, but my surgery stopped that.

You would not believe the difference after pressure washing.....I went from almost black concrete to nice shiny natural color

After some searching on youtube I came across this video, pretty nice stuff and you can get it at home depot.

I might give it a try.

yea..that stuff is pretty good.....but be careful if you use it.....it sets up kinda fast

I'm looking for a sealer I guess to try and keep the concrete from turning dark....

Wouldn't that work pretty good. Afterward you could follow up with some good sealant.
Problem with mine is it chipping away in spots and some cracks in spots. My neighbor had part of his redone and it looks bad with half of driveway all perfect while rest is faded.

I'll do a section at a time. I'm thinking I'll do it once it cools down a bit. Right now it's in upper 90s
