In one aspect of the invention, an apparatus for reconditioning a paved surface, has a vehicle adapted to traverse the paved surface. The vehicle has a manifold with a plurality of high pressure nozzles adapted to indent the paved surface. At least one nozzle is formed in a nozzle body with a distal end having a hard material with a hardness of at least 2,000 HK. The at least one nozzle is also in fluid communication with a fluid reservoir through a fluid pathway. The apparatus has a pressurizing mechanism and a heating mechanism for pressurizing and heating fluid in the fluid pathway.

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for reconditioning a paved surface, comprising: a vehicle adapted to traverse the paved surface; the vehicle comprising a manifold with a plurality of high temperature, high pressure nozzles adapted to indent the paved surface; at least one nozzle comprising a nozzle body with a distal end comprising a hard material with a hardness of at least 2,000 HK; the at least one nozzle is also in fluid communication with a fluid reservoir through a fluid pathway; the apparatus comprising a pressurizing mechanism and a heating mechanism for pressurizing and heating fluid in the fluid pathway, a depressurization chamber rearward of the at least one nozzle; and a compactor rearward of the depressurization chamber. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the hard material is selected from the group consisting of diamond, monocrystalline diamond, polycrystalline diamond, sintered diamond, chemical deposited diamond, physically deposited diamond, natural diamond, infiltrated diamond, layered diamond, thermally stable diamond, silicon bonded diamond, metal bonded diamond, cubic boron nitride, silicon carbide, diamond impregnated matrix, diamond impregnated carbide, and combinations thereof. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the nozzle body is vertically translatable. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the nozzle body is hydraulically translated. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the manifold is in electrical communication with electronic equipment. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the manifold further comprises a projection proximate and rearward of the at least one nozzle body, the projection being adapted to maintain pressure on the paved surface. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the projection comprises a plurality of diamond segments. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the distal end is pointed, rounded, flat, polygonal, or any combination thereof. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a nozzle opening formed in the nozzle body is directed into the surface at an acute angle with respect to the manifold. 10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a nozzle opening formed in the nozzle body is directed into the surface at an angle perpendicular to the surface. 11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the distal end comprises a sloped face adapted to contact the surface. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the nozzle body comprises a wedge shape with a wider portion of the wedge shape rearward of a narrower portion of the wedge shape. 13. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the nozzle body comprises a radiused forward edge on the distal end. 14. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the nozzle body is adapted to indent up to an inch into the paved surface. 15. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the nozzle body is formed from a carbide substrate bonded to diamond. 16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the nozzle is formed by electric discharge machining a hole through a portion of the carbide substrate and then by a laser through the diamond. 17. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the diamond comprises a thickness of at least 0.100 inch. 18. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the manifold further comprises a projection proximate and forward of the nozzle body, the projection being adapted to prevent chipping of the paved surface. 19. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a portion of the nozzle body extends forward of the nozzle opening and is adapted to prevent chipping of the paved surface.
