I have two questions: Does this product require that the driveway be cleaned in any special way...and, how thick is the fabric?

Hi, After trying this, my advice is that you don't wast your money (if you have not purchased it yet). And get a professional person who seals driveways to apply the Hot liquid Tar FIRST, which is very thick and heavy, different from the sealer.What I did, is clean the driveway VERY well, Power washed it, I think even used metal hard brush. I also filled the cracks & packed them (as much as I can) with driveway patch. It was warm & perfect temp when I applied it. After 12 - 16 months, all of it started pealing. It did what it's supposed to and worked perfectly ... but for 1 year only. Not worth the hassle and effort.

All that is required is a good sweep of the surface prior to application. The fabric is 1/16 inch thick.

To clean, just hose down the spot where you are going to put it. Wait for it to dry, cut it to the length, take off backing and apply. I smooth it with a roller and I put driveway sealer to seal the edges. The thickness is the same as black roofing material.

You should always clean the surface before applying any types of repairs. Pressure washing is usually best, although don't go overboard with it. On the roll, 13 layers gives .9 inch of thickness, so about .07" thick.

Fabric is slightly thicker than duct tape. I did clean the area of debris first (i.e. leaves) but nothing special is required

Nothing special required. I use a blower to remove all dust and loose material. The tape is substantial; I estimate a 32nd-16th of an inch. Winter snow plows will catch edges. I don't plow any more. I love this stuff. Easy to use, and durable and does the job. Not so pretty, but cracks and cost to re pave are worse.

The driveway only needs to be cleaned of debris like leaves and dirt. I'd say the fabric is slightly less than an eighth of an inch.

Installation of the plastic sheeting (I used 2 mil) is a pain particularly with respect to wind (even minor winds can undo parts of the plastic sheet installation). However, during the water washing to remove the Cleaner/Activator, a minor under-lap of the sheeting allowed the wash water to result in a minor stain on the RV fiberglass siding. I was able to clean the stain with some elbow grease and Acetone. However, I would NOT have enjoyed having to clean the whole rig. Alex

It is front load commercial washer or spot cleaned an not to be dry cleaned . I have not had mine on long enough to try it on my hand wash cycle.

I've washed it a few times; after 5 or so wearings, I'd guess. I don't remember the washing instructions (and it's not close by), but I just throw it in with the normal laundry -- cold water wash/rinse, medium/low dry. I used regular detergent but no fabric softener as I use dryer balls. It came out good as new.

Hello there, the fabric I am familiar with has a light rubber or pVC coating on it. If it gets dirty, it is recommended that you use water and a soft cloth (nothing abrasive) to clean up the dirty places. It is not recommended that you use heavy duty cleaners etc on it, so I would assume that also means you shouldn't machine wash it. It appears to be relatively easy to clean (of course that depends on what it is soiled with). Hope that helps, God Bless.

Yes, mix as directed in warm water, let it sit on driveway about 10 minutes but not in direct sun no scrubbing required

I wash the trunk with soap each time I use it and run it in the dish washer every couple of days. This is clean by my standards.

It says to clean with a moist rag, but it is a satin-like outside material so I'd be afraid to get it too wet!

I haven't noticed any and we've had ours for about a year. You can only use mild soap and tags to clean it. Beware of their shipping methods. This is a pretty heavy couch and it only gets delivered to your door.

It's a clear liquid, so no stain of any sort on driveway. Instead of spraying it on the tire, I spray on a tire brush and then brush the sidewalls. I wipe off with microfiber cloth so I get a nice satin finish instead of that artificial high gloss.

We haven't had any problems so far and the fabric is really easy to clean with just some soap and water. We really enjoy ours.

I have used mine for years & have never had to clean it. Although it is visibly dirty the instuctions say it works better the dirtier it gets which I have found to be true. However, I believe you can wash it in the washing machine (the fabric part only) but I would recommend maybe a commercial washing machine

I believe the care instructions are to "spot clean" only. Therefore, I would suggest just using a damp sponge or cloth with soap to clean those areas that have gotten dirty. And then use a clean white cloth to just soak up the mositure and let air dry. Please let me know if that works as these are the instructions I have been given in terms of caring for my sofa upholstery and it is working for me.

I love it, I bought a new SUV and I use it all the time to keep it clean, I live near the beach and have sand all the time. It has no problem picking up the sand or anything else. I would buy it again. Hope it helps.

I too have the exposed aggregate type driveway. I have run only one panel about 15 feet long as a test before itgot cold. Had no problem with loss of stones. This with a washer rated at 2550psi. Works fine. I was concerned notenough pressure. Instructions that came with it do not list a min. pressure, only a max. of 3200 or3300 psi. I'm sold!
