Kev, get it local 24 plus vat. How much do you charge?
Geofix is crap…it goes mouldy and if not compressed properly fails.Then again pointing on indian sandstone in general usually fails as nobody takes time to do it correctly.
I never really rated normal geofix but this all weather is good stuff and seems to set harder. Kev is this correct or is it the same? Chris dont knock it till you've tried it.

It now definately looks like sandstone but the piece on the left with a crack in it looks like limestone! Your blown up picture has identified a lot of grout haze and excess grout in the pits and fissures especially towards the front leading edge. I would take care to point it out to the customer beforehand as when you clean it they will see it as clear as dat because of the colour of the grout. I personally would clean it with a Mono Rotary coupled with a Medium Brush and an acidic cleaner subject to a test area first.KevKev I thought you aren't supposed to use acid on sandstone?Danny
