Is there a product you would recommend . I am in the process of repairing and re grinding my old concrete drive ,approx 90sq m. Thank you .
Good afternoon Kevin,
For concrete we would recommend either Rust-Oleum Tarmacoat or Coo-Var Tennis Court & Drive Paint if a coloured finish is required.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with today.
Best regards.
