Default stamped concrete drive

A home we're considering has a stamped concrete drive, sidewalk
and atrium. The concrete was either colored when poured or given
an acid dye afterward, then sealed with a clear topping. The
concrete is about 5-6 years old and the color has faded some and
there's also a white "lime"-type of deposit on some areas.

If we end up buying the place, my plan is to pressure wash the
concrete well and then apply a clear sealer designed for concrete.
However, if the concrete itself still looks bad after pressure
washing, I might be tempted to try a coat of dye.

Can someone with experience in this area share their advice or
experience in rejuvenating a stamped concrete exterior surface?
