*WE DO NOT RECOMMEND USING ON POLISHED STONE & CERAMIC GLAZED SURFACES, AS IT WON'T SOAK INTO THE SURFACE*
**Exceptions to Sandstone suitability:
Please note this product is not suitable for Kandla Grey (mid and light grey) sandstone
COVERAGE RATIOS:
Average 5-12 m² per litre depending on the texture and porosity of the surface being sealed.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Due to the effects of Efflorescence and Natural Salts and Minerals, that can permeate through Natural Stone, it is recommended not to seal for a minimum 4 months after installation.
1. Apply in temperatures above 15°C, but below 23 degrees ensuring the surface is completely dry, clean and free from debris. Apply only if no rain is forecast for at least 8 hours. For best cleaning results use Patio Clean Xtreme.
**If applied to a surface where a "sweep-in" pointing compound has been used with the last 6 months, the natural stone must be fully cleaned with Smartseal Residue Remover prior to sealant application.**
2. Apply the sealer thinly and evenly with a low pressure sprayer, roller, microfibre mop, paint brush or soft cloth. Try not to leave application marks or allow the product to 'pool' or 'puddle' on the surface immediately after application. In the event of over application please ensure all excess is removed within 45 minutes of applying.
3. Once applied, allow minimum 60 minutes drying time before applying the second coat. If possible, apply the product in the opposite direction to try to achieve an even finish. Multiple coats can be applied to achieve the desired finish.
Important Note: Any areas nearby that are not being sealed should be protected with masking materials. If you are sealing over coloured grouts, carry out that a stain test before proceeding.
Q: My sandstone drive was coated with the wet look sealer 2 years ago & the results were very good, however it was very slippery when wet. I now need to clean & recoat the sealer but I'm keen to keep the colours vivid as before. What products do you recommended for cleaning and sealing. The area underneath where the car stands has attracted some dirt, not oil, which will need throughly cleaning particularly the "flowpoint" grouting. Regards Richard.
A: Drive Clean Xtreme would be our go to product for quick and effective cleaning of your driveway. If you have used it previously, we woud suggest using the Natural Stone Sealer - WET LOOK to reseal the driveway as some of the other sealers may not bond to the already sealed surface. If unsure try a sample of any of the other natural stone sealers.
Q: Is ot possible to remove this? I put it on concrete tiles and looks awful
A: The wet look sealer should onky be used on natural stone. If you want to remove it you would need to use the residue remover and apply it neat so it acts as a sealer stripper
Q: Can the wet look sealer be power washed or cleaned of green leaf plant stains months later? My patio suffers from surrounding plant leaf drips over winter damp months
A: The wet look sealer can be cleaned afterwards. But pressure washing would to some degree reduce the lifespan of the sealer. We would recommend when 'green algae' starts to form, applying diluted 'Green Clear' Biocide. This will resolve the issue, without pressure washing and act as a preventative. Hope that helps.

Very satisfied so far with the wet look sealer. Time will tell if it is easier to keep the patio clean.
An Indian sandstone area that has been laid for several years and become drab and more like cement slabs. After jet washing, the colours returned, most attractive as it was when new, but when dry, it was not as effective. I used Ultimate Enhancer sandstone sealer and the results are truly amazing. It now has the colours that showed when wet. Very pleased. I found the technical team extremely quick in response to my questions.
Was sceptical to whether this sealer would actually provide the finish desired; however 3 coats on prepared sandstone give a lovely wet sheen which is easily cleaned. Longevity, time will tell. The result is however a little slippery when wet which can be an issue subject to type of footwear.
