Default varnishing bricks???

I bought a load of victorian reclaimed bricks dead cheap to create a

brush and water. The water really brings out the fab colours of the bricks
but they go back to dull when dry. Is there a varnish or similar that I
could use on them to retain the colours?

Just a guess...

Patterned or 'imprinted' concrete drives have some kind of
glossy finish which might be adapted for your purpose. Look in Yellow
Pages for a local company who might be able to advise.
