Poor Performance on Driveway

April 25, 2018

by Toni

" I had a professional (exterior and driveway painting) contractor handle the resurface of my driveway as paint was peeling and just overall appearance was in need of a fix. He did all the stated prep work and applied this product (which claims to be ok over painted driveways and does not peel) to my driveway in nice weather and no rain conditions. Well after staying off it for 77 hours (72 hrs recommended) I had tire marks immediately and every drive in and out left a mark...even one sneaker left an imprint mark and I am home all day with only a rare occasional errand. In other words no grease or stepping in something that would leave a mark as I never had this prior. After just 2 days I had peeling under 2 if not 3 tires. I took photos and Sherwin Williams mgr came out and for unknown reasons product stain did not perform as advertised and noted. The store made it right by supplying at no cost to my contractor a different product (Heavy Shield also by H&C and made for driveways and protects from tire markings and treads etc). Again all prep and wait time done...gave it 84 hours to be safe and I had tire markings still with Heavy Shield the first time I pulled into my driveway. It has now had heavy rain on it and still markings show and along with every trip and other visitor vehicles. So I give up. H&C products do not appear to hold up as advertised and claimed. The color is nice though...fresh concrete. And yes I also used Shark Grip as recommended.

I had higher expectations using Sherwin Williams products and have been left very disappointed. "
