Can't remember what size brush we used but get a cheap long pile roller set and a couple of brushes and your good to go.
We gave it a quick clean the day before then repaired a few holes before sweeping it then put two coats on, in my after pic it still looks like the oil is showing through but I had just flooded those areas with the tarmaseal as they were damaged from the oil so I wanted to build them up a bit, looked great the next day.

Don't think it will be possible to clean and apply on the same day as it won't be fully dried out.
Yeah we did two coats on the same day as it was a nice warm day, how much have you ordered?

Got six 5 lt tubs from Kevin, it is water based, so hope to paint it not long after cleaning.    Doing my sister a favor in Liverpool, but you know what they say about favors  :P
