SEALING EXPOSED AGGREGATE DRIVEWAY | Using a High Gloss Acrylic Sealer

[@GULLYSGARAGE]

I’ve never seen someone love their driveway so much.

[@RADGarage]

@@GULLYSGARAGE It’s like a shiny river bed. 💎

[@wescat2]

When you can seal your driveway in Hey Dudes it's a good day. Great job Rick!

[@RADGarage]

Indeed it is!

[@bertberto]

That looks very good. Once again I enjoyed the video and look forward to more productions from you.

[@RADGarage]

Thanks so much for the support.

[@JeepJL]

Hahaha… Nice job Rick. When you first started, I thought to myself “I hope he doesn’t plan in moving that car out anytime soon”. LOL

[@RADGarage]

Three quarters of the way through I was looking at the car in the garage and thinking, "Something doesn't seem right.". LOL

[@chrismorgan3302]

Nothing like a freshly sealed driveway. The music choice is primo on this one as well!

[@RADGarage]

Thanks. Having a deep and rich driveway makes me happy.

[@PAULOJCOSPINA]

Definitely you made my day, yesterday I watched another of your videos and this one is extremely helpful…. I wasn’t able to find a distributor in Ontario with the same product that you use, but tomorrow I’ll drive to NCA(National Concrete Accessories) in Toronto and I’m hoping that they are able to get it. Thank you very much for posting this video as well, and I’ll take my hat off for your impressive garage(and nice Audi by the way!) cheers, thank you!😎🤝😎

[@RADGarage]

@@PAULOJCOSPINA Good luck. Even if you can’t find the exact manufacturer, I’m sure NCA will have a high gloss acrylic sealer.

[@kennovakowski1246]

Driveway’s need maintenance and that’s how its done perfect job..I do mine every 2 years same product 👍🏻

Awesome video! Love the end results and agree, looks a lot better than a normal concrete slab and way better than the asphalt we tend to use here in Québec.

[@RADGarage]

I am not losing weight! The camera must be agreeing with me in this video. As for shower doors, I have never really done anything special. Our home is professionally cleaned every two weeks and the shower glass is pristine thanks to our wonderful house cleaner, Gina!

[@mdayeh9712]

I did my driveway back in September and it came out very nice! I bought the same sealer that you showed from White Cap previously Brafaco for $220 not including tax, I think they have branches all over the country.

[@RADGarage]

That place changes names every time I visit. The concrete accessories industry is wild!

[@LITTLEROCKSHORES]

I have the same. I use a Chapin Sprayer to apply it. Works great, highly recommend it.

[@RADGarage]

@@LITTLEROCKSHORES Does the sprayer get destroyed after all is said and done? This stuff gums up and hardens so fast.

[@LITTLEROCKSHORES]

@@RADGarage No, my sprayer is 12 years old. After spraying the driveway and walkway, I dump in about 250ml of Xylene as per the sealer mfgr’s instructions. I shake the sprayer, pressurize it and sprayer some through the wand. Afterwards, dump out the rest into an old metal container. Next year, I do it again. So much easier and faster. My driveway is about 50% larger than yours and it takes 45 minutes from start to clean up.

[@RADGarage]

Ok, I'm going to look into this. Thanks for sharing.

[@Buckyvw]

Hope you made it to the game unscathed. Awesome stuff, really refreshes the look.

[@RADGarage]

We did make it to the game in our own car. After six or seven hours, that sealer is pretty much set. But, I didn't drive on it for a few more days.

[@marteaubu]

firstly I said to myself, this video is not for me....I wanted foam lol!!!!! In the end I really liked seeing and understanding the process, thank you for the video! and sorry for the distraction....

[@RADGarage]

@@marteaubu I’m glad I was able to capture and keep your attention. Driveways aren’t famous for being captivating, but this one is!

I hope you enjoyed the hockey game? It's been years since i got to see a hockey game, the last time was in 2006-7 i saw The Manchester Monarchs in Manchester N.H. in the arena there, which is in the next town over from me here in Londonderry,N.H.

[@RADGarage]

@@scootytamra Hockey season brings our family much entertainment. This year’s team is very young and inexperienced so we may have to adjust expectations a bit. It definitely gives us a lot to do during the long cold winters.

[@scootytamra]

@@RADGarage We were a hockey family as well as race car family too, my father raced super modified, mini sprints, and my brother played Goalie for a junior team.

[@RADGarage]

Your family sounds very cool.

[@scootytamra]

@@RADGarage Thanks!

[@scootytamra]

First of all Rick, i love your tree, it's lovely (i'm a tree person too) i know they can be a pain in the A**, but it's beautiful. The treatment brings out all the colors and textures of all the little pebbles in your driveway makes them look richer and adds depth too. Does that sealant help keep water from getting behind the cement /pebble finish in frost to make it crack? I know, all the crazy questions right, but i think you did a georgeous job, it looks awesome!

[@RADGarage]

That tree is a part of the family and we love it despite the drama it sometimes causes us. The sealer indeed prevents water getting between the pebbles and then freezing. Every spring you can see the damage the freeze-thaw cycle has caused on unprotected driveways. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@scootytamra]

@@RADGarage Awesome, i figured as much. That is good it helps protect from frost, frost damages cement quicker than anything, i have a old cement pad where i live with a walkway that has cracks i need to fill, that's why i asked. I will always watch!😄🥰

[@RADGarage]

Yup, you got to prevent water from freezing in those cracks. My city has crazy fluctuating winter temperature so the freeze/thaw cycle does a tonne of damage.

[@scootytamra]

@@RADGarage Yes, it happens here in N.H. too, so i know what your saying.

[@rodrigocalderon-aragon7328]

Looks awesome!! I have wood-like planks stamped concrete and seal every 2-3 years. Why the roller? All concrete people use a cheap Home Depot garden sprayer that gets disposed of. It seems it would make the job faster/easier specially considering is not a flat surface (pebble).

I have a question for you since you are from Canada at Carzilla the AR630tss is called Blue OCEAN but in U.S is called AR630tss BLUE CLEAN is it the same machine?

[@RADGarage]

I'll tell ya, the AR machines are marketed in a confusing way. Let me dig around and get back to you. I'm not sure what is with the inconsistency in naming this machine.

[@RADGarage]

I just did some checking and the AR630TSS is the same machine regardless of Blue Ocean or Blue Clean. I refer to it as the Annovi Reverberi AR630TSS. Confused yet?

I did. I used a strong APC and my pressure washer did absolutely nothing. I would need to get into a very acidic cleaner to break through the thick rubber and I just don't want to go that route. The winter weather and salt with probably get rid of it by Spring. We shall see.
