Has anyone used Carpio's Concrete Coatings for driveways cleaning and sealing? or Do you have any suggestions.

No idea no this company, but the company that painted/stained our driveway around 9 years ago no longer suggests additional sealing, the reason it is easy to get moisture sealed in and then the sealer turns cloudy. So my advice check with whomever did the original driveway and see if it actually needs to be resealed, then choose an optimal time of year to have the work done.
Just a note, our driveway (and several others in the block) have never been resealed and still look great.

That "haze" is efflorescence. It's important to hire a reputable company who knows not only what sealant they are treating and the proper product to apply.

Thank You!

I will add if you do not know the original product that was installed, or if it was sealed in the past, I would strongly suggest doing a test sealing in an area to see if the new sealer is compatible.

Can you send me a PM or call me at 352-259-4423? This is an old post, but I'm looking for someone to do my driveway. Thank you, Tinker
