Achieving professional results with the Liquid Rubber Driveway Restore Kit doesn’t need to be complicated. Follow these step-by-step instructions and set yourself up for success.

Preparation Steps

Cleaning the driveway: Start by thoroughly inspecting the driveway for structural integrity. Use the Deck and Patio Cleaner to remove all contaminants, such as dirt, grease, or old sealants. Pressure washing your driveway is highly recommended.
Repairing damages: For any cracks over 2mm (1/8”) wide, fill them with the Sealant & Adhesive Caulk to prevent water infiltration and further damage.
Drying the surface: Ensure the surface is fully dry before application. Prep is 90% of the job, so don’t rush this step.
Masking and protection: Protect adjacent areas like your garage skirt and sidewalk by masking with painter's tape. Also, consider laying down tarps to prevent any spillage on unintended surfaces.
Application time: Depending on your driveway’s size, each coat may take a few hours. The second coat can be applied 12 hours after the first.
Curing time: The driveway should cure for about 48 hours before you allow vehicle traffic. Expect the entire process—from prep to final curing—to take around 3-5 days.

Understanding the time commitment for each driveway update stage is crucial for a successful application. The following table breaks down the estimated time required for each phase of the process, helping you plan your project efficiently from start to finish.

Preparation	1 to 2 hours (plus drying time, which varies)
Application (per coat)	A few hours (depending on driveway size)

How do I Maintain My Driveway After Using the Kit?

After applying the Liquid Rubber Driveway Restore Kit, maintaining your driveway is essential to ensure its longevity and continued effectiveness. Here are some key maintenance tips to follow:

Regular cleaning: Sweep the driveway regularly to remove debris, leaves, and dirt. Use a hose or pressure washer to clean the surface periodically, especially after heavy rains or storms.
Inspect for damage: Conduct a visual inspection every few months to check for any signs of wear, cracks, or peeling. Address minor issues promptly to prevent them from becoming major problems.
Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents on the driveway, as they can degrade the Liquid Rubber coating. Opt for mild detergents or specialized driveway cleaners that are safe for use with rubber coatings.
Protect from heavy loads: Avoid parking heavy vehicles or equipment on the driveway for extended periods. Use protective mats or boards under heavy objects to distribute weight evenly and prevent indentations.
Seasonal care: In winter, use a plastic shovel instead of a metal one to remove snow and ice, as metal can scratch the surface. Apply sand or kitty litter for traction instead of salt, which can be corrosive.
Reapplication: Depending on the level of wear and environmental conditions, consider reapplying a fresh coat of Liquid Rubber every few years. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for reapplication to ensure optimal results.

By adhering to these maintenance practices, you can extend the life of your driveway and keep it looking pristine for years to come.
