Very good point!  Unfortunately due to a lack of understanding and an in depth education on Sealers and what they do and don't do, most traders buy on price or what their mate says and never even consider:

Performance
Longevity
Coverage
Type of application
Suitability
Aesthetic appearance

They then in turn are not in a position to educate the client so end up not bothering to do it or seal it with the totally wrong thing.  Remember that lead you gave me for that Landscape Gardener??? ;D ;D

Here you go these two both do the same thing in that they are both Impregnators / penetrating and both of them enhance!

Which is cheapest?

Don't forget as well that the Miracle is only a US Gallon so only 3.785Litres

Which one will give the wet look? Ones Matt finish but enhances the colour etc? Sorry if I sound thick it's been a long day , jamie

Masonry teaches that each person, through self-improvement and helping others, has an obligation to make a difference for good in the world.

The answer was "its cold so wear many coats" - sorry wrong question.

Personally I think  http://www.aquamix.com.au/products/sealers/enhancing-sealers/ is the correct answer - I have just cleaned a patio I toshed over last year and it still looks very good. I drove to the end of my road and nowhere near the M25 for this job

All premium enhances leave it with a matt damp look when applied properly.  You only get some shine if you leave excess sealer on the surface.  Go and pour water on dry concrete then wait until it has soaked in!  That is the look Enhancing sealers give you but permanently.

As Much as it grieves me to agree with Kevin and Carlita (Ref http://www.fantasygirl.co.uk/)..
I agree impregnation the ONLY way to go with sandstone. Although I would tend to use a water based one due to waiting for the british climate drying it out enough to use a "solvent"  based one. (But that s my personal choice)

Buy from Kevin then you will have the back up and advice for the product you are using.
