Other than a trumped up reason a salesperson might give you does it really bother you if it looks like a ...er...driveway?

not criticizing or anything like that, just curious..
Oh boy. You're opening the big can of worms. A driveway looking like a......er.......driveway is socially unacceptable to many here.

Driveway coating discussion here is the only thing that garners as much discussion as the dog poop on other people's grass problem!

Seriously, coatings probably do help keep the concrete from getting porous and crumbly, and many folks get blackish stains from their queen palms above the driveway.

Many undies are still in a wad in several CYV neighborhoods where ARC approved one type of colored coating for all who want to do it. Various contractors have been hired, and if you don't use the same guy others do, some lives are forever altered, it seems! Bottom line with that is, it's not their property...it's yours!
