Hi Simon

Raj Green (I think thats what you've got?) is extremely hardy. If there is a high possibility of you reguarly spilling oil on your paving then it might be worth considering but if not, then I would not bother.

I have got no experience of the product but you need to check if it will leave a nasty shine on the surface of the stone

All the best

Simon,

For me either Lithofin or Aqua-Mix for sealers. But that is not saying the Steintec stuff isn't any good, just haven't used it.

No I have emailed her, she has never replied.
I have a feeling that it won't go any further then the work/clean I did last year, don't know why, but just have that feeling about that one.
I do have the job in Whitton booked in for May, the Limestone that the builders messed up..

Simon,
I have not used the Profi but from the link you posted it says "surface" sealer where as Lithofin and Aqua-mix are impregnators plus the Profi is water based where as the other 2 are solvent based. I guess a test would show if it is going to change the surface of your Sandstone (as in make it glossy) with the Profi, where as the other 2 don't.
