Your local hardscapes store should be able to recommend one that will do the job. As for a sealer, there are many different types on the market and will provide a variety of finishes to the wall. For example some have a clear finish while others leave a shine – like a “wet look” which can alter the color of your wall. Keep in mind once you apply a sealer to your wall, you will need to reapply as needed to keep the wall looking fresh and clean. I would recommend simply cleaning the stains as they appear rather than sealing the wall. However, If you really want to seal the wall, talk to your local hardscape supplier for a recommendation on a sealer available in your area.
