Hot take: Everyone's wrong about sealing concrete driveways here

I was at a job in the Northeast Heights last fall and saw a brand new sealant job flake off in sheets after one winter. The contractor swore by his 'breathable' formula, but the freeze-thaw cycle here is brutal. What's a sealant that actually holds up for more than a season?

Wait, did they prep the surface right before sealing?

Honestly, rushing the prep can be fine sometimes. A quick clean is often enough for a basic seal. People make this step way too hard.

Ugh, @spencerm46, that's the step everyone rushes.
