stamped concrete 3 Months, 4 Weeks ago  
I have stamped concrete and it is about 3 years old now. Is it time to reseal it and if so what type should I use to give a nice glaze again?

Re:stamped concrete 3 Months, 4 Weeks ago  
Cleaning and sealing stamped and colored concrete should be done on a regular basis just like any other home maintenance. The frequency will depend on how high a traffic area to cars, foot traffic, water, and any chemicals the concrete is exposed to.

Distinctive Concrete of New England recommends resealing every 2 or 3 years. If you wait longer, you may notice the color fade slightly. But just like waxing a car, reseal your stamped concrete and the color will be as vibrant as the day it was installed.
Your main decisions regarding sealers are going to be:

Do you want a clear seal?

Do you want a seal to match the color of the existing colored concrete to make the colors more vibrant?

Is there any other consideration, such as slip resistance?
