Cheers London Stone and LLL for your thoughs.
No worries John, did a quick search for the Signo Flexiguard and looks impressive on the utube clip, although not sure if that was on sandstone paving. Looking at the price on the link to simply paving it doesn’t look that much cheaper than the Dry Treat. I don’t think it would be suitable for mine as its not solvent, just water based so won’t be compatible with what I have already applied.
The main advice I would give is do a test sample on a spare piece of paving (not laid), throw some typical stains/dirt at it and see how it performs. On light coloured paving you won’t stop all stains, but also then try a stain remover to see how it comes up. I'm tipping towards DryTreat at the mo as they also give advice on their website for general cleaning and also spot stain removal. Some sealant manufacturers don’t seem to bother with this vital aftercare info.
