Up North, (where I grew up) our driveways were fine. They held up fine and looked the same year after year.
Here, between the rust colored water stains around the downspouts and the dark (is it mildew?) splotches that are growing on the concrete, our brand new driveway is looking pretty ugly in large sections.
I had heard that some people here get a power wash, then have a sealer or 'clear coat' applied to eliminate this ugly stuff from settling in. Supposedly, you can't see the coating once it dries, so it doesn't change the appearance of the driveway, except to maybe be the color it would be if it were wet.
Thought I'd run it past the forum, to see if anybody has had experience with this or if I heard something bogus.
