The Firth "Flagstone" range are coloured all the way through,and have a rougher surface. Interesting. Guess I have lived my entire life without coming across low-class paver's. |

I would recommend a water blaster (as per Jen) and start out with not too much pressure.I thought that may be the case. I think a water blaster may be the answer. Cheers. |

Water blasters are great but the effects aren't very long lasting as the pavers soon get grubby again . My father used to water blast his concrete then used one of those 60 Seconds type of cleaners and he reckons his concrete stays cleaner for far longer . Unfortunately I don't know exactly which product he used because I haven't had as good success with the ones I've used . |

That means that it will take less time to get back to the condition they are now in. You blast again and the surface roughens even more. The cycle gets shorter. Suggest one of the spray products and be prepared to be patient. If you do not want to wait and chose waterblasting then do not give it "heaps", just enough to do the job. Misty :2cents: |
