I am convinced that staining is not the correct word , perhaps painting isn't either. When I thing of staining, I think of the stain penetrating what it is applied to... Staining should never chip or peel. In my neighborhoopd there are hundreds of "stained" driveways that are peeling, chipping and fading down to the bare concrete. Staining should not be able to be ground off, when I had the liquid concrete applied, the contractor did just that. My drive lasted 12 years and I expect the liquid concrete to last twice perhaps three times that long. I have no major complaints abouit the "stained" driveway except for the fact that I was continually scrubbing off tire marks. In two yearsI have not had to wash my liquid concrete driveway, not a single time.
