Resin Bound Driveway - Rejuvenation

Hi,

We have a resin driveway that looked amazing when first down, and although we still like it 3 years on it's looking a little faded and could do with rejuvenating. Does anyone have any experience with any sort of sealers for these driveways which may help it look better?

Thanks.

Marc

    Have you tried cleaning it? I thought the great thing about expensive resin driveways was that they lasted well. There's one near here that has been down over 20 years and still looks good.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.

    All the resin drives near me look a mess after a few years. I think they are probably sold as "maintenance free" so people don't realise they need cleaning every so often. 

    You can buy specialist resin cleaners but I don't know if they are any different to standard patio / stone cleaners.

    The drive where my son lives is approx two years old and has grass weeds sprouting up in several places.
