Only a broom or mop is required to clean stamped concrete. If you are interested in using a special cleaning product on the concrete overlay and sealer, ask your installer.
This homeowner saved money by using integrally color concrete, broom-finished concrete for their main driveway fields and stamping the edges with brick-patterned borders. To make them stand out from the lighter driveway, the borders were stained with a burnt color.
You now have your equipment. Now you need a helping hand. First, add three quarts of water in a five gallon bucket. Next, place the bucket in a mixing bowl and use your helper to slowly pour the resurfacer. Mix the mixture for five minutes. You should stop mixing the mixture once it reaches a syrup-like consistency. You can add water to make the mixture thicker; you can also add a little more resurfacer if it seems too thin. Your helper will be able to fit weatherstripping inside the expansion joints in order to prevent the resurfacer leaking into them while you mix.
