I took a photo of my neighbour with light and dark color, the dark color can see the stain very obvious right.

Off topic a bit, what is used to make the imprint concrete shine?
Cannot be polishing right, with it being imprinted and all.
Wax? Lacquer type of paint for concrete?

I apply water based floor sealer on my car porch imprint. I bought it from ace hardware, you can use painting roller to apply.

The guys who made the concrete imprint didn't put the sealer for you?

They should have applied. But the sealer will wear off after some times.
You could reapply it, but must wash clean the imprint surface 1st.

I am using dark(black) colour for my car posh...A bit worried and regret now..

Sand and stain (especially raining and step with the dirty shoes) will see very obviously...

Sad...should use light colour....a lesson that never undo/redo learnt....

I think it's like that.
On light flooring, dirt appears as dark coloured particles
