Concrete Driveway Color Staining.

[Yekoms]

I did a search and found a couple things about staining concrete garage floors.
I'm lookin for info and ideas.
I'm interested in color staining (gray) and sealing a new concrete driveway.
I want the stuff that soaks into the concrete. I don't want a slippery,paint,epoxy etc. coating.
I read some stuff on the internet that a sealer with Silane or Siloxine is the stuff to use. Not silicone because silicone doesn't let the concrete breath.
The stains that I found so far have silicone in them.
Can somebody help me out or send me some links to more info.
Thanks,Smokey

I would be interested in seeing some pics of drives that have it done also. The wife and I have been thinking about doing that. I'm curious as to how many years it holds up.

Me too. This is why I'm tryin' to get all the info that I can. I don't want to do something that is slippery or looks like **** in a couple years and have a junk coating that needs to be striped off later.
I'm gettin' pretty confused. Until I get a better feel for this deal I'm not doin' anything.
