"wet look" for driveway?

[Jaguar Fan]

What would be a good product for to protect, seal & provide the "wet look" for a concrete driveway? Normal clear epoxy typically isn't OK for this outdoor application because of all the UV. My driveway (not yet poured) isn't that big, so cost isn't really a concern for me.

I want something that will last a very long time.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

You want an acrylic sealer, gloss. Two roller coasts should suffice.
Here are two links from our stable:

In addition to UV issues, epoxy would fog over almost immediately.

Does this work on pavers as well?

Won't that be slippery in wet weather? Even with a good broom finish?

Oops, OP is in Vegas, it doesn't rain there, does it?

Glaze N Seal wet look acrylic lacquer sealer with non skid, 2 coats.
Westcoat Sc-70 acrylic lacquer with CA-30 safe grip, 2 coats.
Both materials can be cut with acetone or xylene(unless you're in CA), and can also be sprayed. I like to spray my jobs. I use a Chapin Xtreme with the 8006 diamond tip.

We do get rain. Usually in the summertime. While total annual rainfall is low, when it rains, it comes down hard all at once.

So a friction enhancer is very desireable.
