Did a pressure washing jo for a custy about a month ago, brickweave path and drive. Job came up great, custy well pleased. Until the gardener said it needed re sanding. Brushed sand and cement all over it and tured the whole lot white. Custy wants to know how to put it right and I ain't got a clue ??? Any suggestions please. And yes the gardener will (probably) be paying for it ;)

Diluted brick acid aplied from a watering can, then pressure wash again. The cement would have stained the blocks and the acid burns a very thin layer off the surface. test small area first to make sure you are happy the result and adjust dilution rates/dwell time.
After pressure washing a block pave drive you need to revisit after it has dried properly and brush in some kiln dried sand or geo-fix. The sand is an improtant part of the structure of the drive and you are leaving yourself open to having to pay for drive having to be relaid if you don't.

Cheers prodry - only bricks round edges of slabs, not a complete driveway. I did offer to resand once it was dry but she said gardener had already offered to do it, so not my fault for once!
