And this is a wet slab. Ignore the shine of the water it's the deep colouring I'm after

To compare the beading on natural stone to the beading on a car is a bitâ€¦â€¦
But anyway, I can see what you are trying to achieve, this sealer is going to do what you want to a point.

It doesn't have the sheen that you might want but will give you the depth of colour.
We use this one & I have recommended it to a few on here and they have all been happy with the results.

Would that be the orange one?
Had it a while now, mainly the wife uses it , a bit out there colour wise but it's a cracking car for everyday use.

Ahh just had a look and didn't realise I had pics of the blue one on there, that one is kept away until summer, doesn't get a lot of use these days but still nice to have it for the odd weekend

Thanks very much for the link I will take a look in a minute, appreciate u taking the time. I'm not after a sheen as such tho, ideally a matt/satin finish but beggars can't be choosers, mainly want it deeper in colour.

I wasn't expecting this kind of tightness on stone

Here's the car, similar ish, definitely was expecting less from the stone sealer

that is what an impregnating sealer does at first
not sure about the colour depth you want as the flags are pretty psychedelic to start with

as roger says an acrylic is the way forward,cavaet emptor

After a quick Google of you're last words LLL I understand.
Will try to acquire a sample, and just ordered a sample of smart seal too

Again thanks for you're advice. Going to order it today. Do you think 1 litre will give me 2 coats on 12 square meters?
Didn't want to buy a gallon as of the price and any unused product going off in the forthcoming years.
Cheers luke

If you are going to use the Aqua-Mix or Miracle sealers, you only need to do one coat, I'd get 1.5 lts to be on the safe side if it is the paving's first seal.
It you are going for Smart-Seal, then I cannot give you any advice other then don't waste your time & money.

Nope not quoins with smart seal.
Haven't looked into miracle but am ordering aquamix.
Hmm Â£150 for 1.5L ,Â£280 for 3.6L
Does it store ok if so makes sense to buy more at the price of it
