<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">We
have a customer with a lot of Impala Black on their landscape boxes and
pillars.  The bottom of the stone has a bit of spalling and has turned to
a a light color.  They are hoping to have this refinished.  </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">It
is about 10 years old and has never had any maintenance done.  I believe
that the light color may be effloresence, but is right next to a walk and
driveway that is salted in the winter. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">I’m
looking for suggestions to save the customer having to replace the stone. 
They are not expecting it to look perfect, but would like the color back. </span></p>
