Guest MOLLY Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Ive seen a few drives, the kind with fancy brickwork. And they have been painted with some sort of high gloss clear varnish type stuff? Does anyone know what it might be? MOLL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IanB 0 Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Got mentioned to me awhile ago moll, they come out and use an acid to burn the top surface of the brickwork off on your your drive for instance, a block paved drive then they coat it in a clear laquer, reason the bloke mentioned it to me, was his neighbours had it done and he said it was well smart, but when they went to park their car on it slid of into the lawn and they had to get him to pull them out the mud.... :11: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Needs to be done every three yrs and is applied with a brush. Any half decent flag/pathing yard will sell it. Oneredtrim <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ill give you a ring this week MOLL.
