Stamped concrete

[Mcecere11]

Have a stamped concrete deck that is about 8 years old. Some parts seem to be fading a bit. I wanted to restain it but I’m not sure what product to use. I’m usually a diy’er so thinking I could tackle it. Any suggestions on approach or product to use ?

Please share what it looks like now so we can really see what you are working with.

One thing I do know is you do NOT want to paint it! Paint on concrete = why did I do that after a while and most times it is after a short while.

What a pretty area you have there!

LOL on the dog on the "hammock" you put out for him!

I am guessing the decking is wet in this picture. Is this what it looks like after you do a good cleaning of it? What do you use to clean it?

There are many things you can do... I called these guys and asked them as they deal with it every day and they are all about the DIY'er

You can see some areas are wet. Likely after some rain. I usually will power wash it prior to sealing it and use some simple green. Use a peer blower to get everything off. This pic I was taking of dog lol so I can post a better pic later.

Well the main thing I wanted to make sure of is you have been cleaning it so it is not dirt or such that is making the colors different.

Look at what @cowboycasey shared. He has you heading in the right direction! THANKS Casey!
