Been asked to do a clean, and colour/seal on a drive, is it best to do by roller ?

Thanks

Get all my stuff from Picseal in Sheffield now, their customer care is fantanstic, and they run you through all the process of applying the gear, just got off phone with em now  ;D
Roller is the way to go  :D

You need to use one that is resilient to solvent.

Not done one myself but I'm sure someone mentioned on one of the forums after the colour was applied the lady of the house did not like the colour. FFS  ;D

Picseal gave me a big tube filled with little discs of different colours, and I am going to give her the colour choice  ;D

Imprinted concrete is way too much farting about so I leave well alone.

Seems far less hassle doing block pavers for sure and I would imagine more profitable too.
Having to fork out on expensive products then weather permitting fart about doing it I think would defo do my head in.

I love cleaning this stuff, you don't even need high pressure, and the sealing is an added bonus ££££  ;D
In fact along with the tarmac restoration, these are really good money earners, as lots don't like doing it !
