Sealant requires alot more work than just brushing it over,blocks need to be 100% dry no rain for 4/5 day before and 2/3 after,warm air temp.depending on manufactures instructions

if you are going to post put correct information or not at all,MSH :)

Blimey I must have ruined 1000's of meters of paving, I better contact our year after year clents and tell them sorry we can't do work for them anymore.

Oops just re-read your quote, "you used to pressure wash for a living"
that says it all..

I pressure wash for a living and I also use the '' circular motion'' because it helps me with my Karate training. :cool:
