I have covered this dozens of times but here we go:

PICK THE DIRTIEST AREA TO DO A TEST PATCH AS FOLLOWS:

1.  Pre wet the stone with plain water!
2.  Take your Klindex Rocky and fit it with Soft to Med Brush!
3.  Fill the tank of the Rocky with diluted high alkaline cleaner suited to the DEGREE of soiling on the drive! (I use Aqua Mix Heavy Duty Tile & Grout Cleaner!  You can use whatever make of High Alkaline you want)
4.  Allow it to dwell ensuring it stays wet then agitate with Rotary and vac up.
5.  Then rinse and vac again.
6.  Seal with water based penetrating sealer (I use Aqua Mix Penetrating Sealer or Aqua Mix Sealers Choice Gold but you can use what you like)
7.  If after your test area at stage 4 it is not clean then add some honing powder (Preferably 220 or 320 Grit) and agitate again and then follow steps 4, 5 & 6.
7.  If there is still some moss or lichen (Unlikely) then use  a spray of diluted Hypo and allow to dwell and then follow steps 4, 5 &  6.

NOTE  MAKE SURE THERE IS NO HIGH ALKALINE LEFT IN THE VACUUM AND THAT YOU HAVE THOROUGHLY RINSED IT OUT OR YOU WILL BE GETTING A FOAM BATH ;D
