Should I seal my concrete driveway?

[CoconutPete]

Well... driveway is looking that way again. Like a pressure wash would just make the place look that much better.

I think it has been 2 or 3 years since I did it last.

Once done ... should I put sealer on it? Does it help? Is it worth it? Does it make any difference with how long it "looks clean"?

We stained our drive and sealed it. It definitely makes a difference in how it looks. We have a "6 car" driveway.
We used HD-6600MMA which brings out the underlying color of the stain a bit. It also makes oil stains a problem of the past as you just wipe them up. Not a single fluid stain on our drive.

Downside? Re-sealing the whole thing every 2-3 years at about $1000 in materials...

Yes seal it. We use Trident products.

100% a good idea to increase longevity of the concrete

Trident is good stuff. Lots of folks in my 'hood have used it on their pavers with good results.
