Wet look paving sealant - Any reccomendations?

[KAMIKAZEE DIY]

I'm wanting to seal/protect paving I have recently laid.

It is Indian sandstone and looks 100 times better in the rain.

Can anyone recommend a wet look colour enhancer/sealant?

Is there different markets out there? Ie professionally applied products and DIY ( B&Q) range? Is there big difference between the two?

Many thanks

Worlds apart diy and professional sealing products.
Why the wet look? colour enhancing will give you the depth of colour you might want without the shine?
Do you have a budget in mind for this?

kami generally wet look will need re application every year
decent colour enhancer/sealer can work for 15 years

but as Roger says budget is important
decent gear could cost £5 p/m 2 for materials

It's 7m2, so not big area to treat. It's a path not a patio.

Could I get something from professional range for £50 or is that unrealistic? What products would you recommend?

Is there professional products available sold in smaller volumes?


Many thanks

Colour enhancing impregnating sealer, will cost you a little bit more then £50.00 but you'll get what you pay for with sealers.
I've been using this one for a couple of years, can't fault it, the 945Mls will be more then enough for the size you have.

Paving needs to be perfectly clean & dry with no rain forecasted for at least 6-8 hours after finishing. Wipe any excess sealer off after 5 minutes, but it is worth wiping all the paving after that time with either lint-free cloth or micro-fibre cloth to remove any excess as a make sure.
Instructions are on the products, READ before using, and you shouldn't have any problems.
