No rain did have frost but slabs were covered

It looks like it has ‘Bloomed’, trapped moisture.
sealing 24hrs after a jet wash is too soon, it won’t have dried sufficiently.
Contact this company and speak with Bob, he’s your man.

Yes , as above looks like it has bloomed , it can happen with Topical type sealers as they trap moisture.
