Both my father's and my drive way have a few stains that look like rust. If it really is rust, what's the best thing to remove it?

Most companies that sell sealer sell a rust remover. If not sometimes locla hardware stores have a low strenght rust remover, I can't think of the name of it at the time. www.eacochem.com sells stuff called saferestore that works great on most concrete objects. They are agood company and ship fast. 5 gallons at a time though.

Are you thinking "Wink?" We used to use the stuff for rust stains on carpeting and it was like magic... My father and I were just discussing but couldn't remember the name. When I read your post it was like...magic...I remembered it was Wink.
If the stuff works on the pavers it would be awesome since it's not that expensive and I wouldn't have to buy it in 5 gallon lots... :D

Do a small test area first. If it is rust on the pavers and the product you use is strong enough to remove it, you may end up with a "clean" spot that will stand out from the surrounding pavers. Are the driveways plowed in the winter?

Both driveways are snowblown rather than plowed.

Another commonly found rust remover is Magica. Can be bought direct from their website http://www.magicarustremover.com/ or local merchants.
Our company makes our own rust remover. Unless you use a lot of rust remover (we make 10-15 gallons of remover at a time several times a year) it isn't necessarily cost effective.
