Whatever sealer you use for god's sake do it when it's bone dry and no rain due.

I learnt from a very awkward and costly job a couple of months back, also price the sanding and sealing accoringly, it takes as long if not longer than the P/W itself.

Try selling them clean & re-sand only, if you have not sealed before then becareful as it is easy to mess-up, conditions have to be just right, as in paving as to be bone dry and no rain forecast for around 8 hours after sealing, and with a commercial paving keeping people off the surface till the sealer has cured.
