SmartSealTARMASEAL Tarmac Restorer Black - Superior in Performance to Tarmac Paint For Driveways - EASY to apply Tarmac Restorer For Driveways - Transforms Old Look Like New - 3 x 5 Litre

Neighbours thought we had new drive, look smart. I wasn't sure how much it would cover so bought the largest size. Did 2 coats and some left over. Drive is full length of house and about 20 foot to front of house. Prepared first by removing any moss patches. Filed in cracks using cold fill tarmac from well known DIY store (that's was the hardest bit, as did by taking out area around crack and down, do need to buy the spray for the tarmac to adhere and patted down. Weather good and left a week to cure properly). Then gently jet washed and finally swept. As with any job prep is the pinfold bit. Finally ready to start, initially thought it was expensive but not when you consider the quantity to price. Drive hadn't been maintained for the 10 year I have lived in property and not know how long before that. So a very light grey. I followed instructions how to use which really was only shaking the container, as I got the largest size and very heavy to lift for me, I turned the container upside down the day before and then turned it upright the next day and shook it side to side. It worked. I also had a long handed pole that I use for ceilings and bought 2 masonry rollers. Only needed 1. That's because I did second cost the same day 5 hours later. If doing 2nd coat next day would need the the 2nd roller. Used paint brush for edges, did soak in so I did liberally. Hand and knees job, but was so easy to do. Then rolled the large area, this was a little tougher to do as wanted to get into original tarmac to soak in every crevice. Worked a treat, took about 2 hours and so satisfactory. So easy to use, no streaks or lines, like a perfect pain job on a car. 2nd coat using roller, easier and quicker as the first coat had done the hard work of restoring. Left then 24 hours before walking on. Can do sooner but I wasn't taking a chance. So yes the prep is the painstaking bit if you have light cracks. But this stuff is brilliant, so pleased. If I had known about it earlier I would have done sooner, only found out because I googled about state of tarmac. This stuff seems to feed it so not a paint to just disguise it. Lastly I am a 65 year old women and used to decorating etc

After seeing the other reviews and seeing some photos I was certain it would make a difference to my otherwise tired and worn out drive.But wow. I wasn’t expecting such a good quality product, so easy to roller on and just brushed round the edges. As other reviews have said, even after a day, I had 4 neighbours come and ask who had just laid my new drive that quickly!Highly recommend this product. I bought the 20ltr and have done 3 coats of a single drive. There’s enough left over to do another coat or keep a bit spare for the future.

Bought this because our driveway was looking tired but didn't need replacing. Ordered 20L for a 45m2 driveway. The description says it should cover 40-60m2, and implies that's with 2 coats. In the end, I ended up running out after only covering 2/3 of the driveway, and so I had to buy some more to finish the first coat.Product arrived in good time. Cleaning the driveway was really hard work, and took days to do. I think it's easy to underestimate how big a job this might be. The product itself went on well, is easy to use and is grippy to walk on still. I had to use more than expected. Overall, the drive looks much better for it. We'll have to wait to see how long it lasts, but is doing fine after about a month.

I've used this twice on two different driveways.On one the tarmac was pretty good. On the other terrible. It's good stuff. Easy to use and stays looking good for years. Coverage depends on what you start with. The first coat seeps into all the nooks and crannies and can use a lot of liquid. Second coat goes twice as far.It's expensive, but very good. If you were thinking of buying one tub, buy two!

This is my second time using this product on the same driveway and it didn’t disappoint! The last time I painted the drive with this product was over two years ago. I thought it was time for a refresh… not that it really needed it. After painting the edges liberally with a masonry brush, I then used a masonry roller and a large pole to roller the remainder of the driveway. I left it to dry for a good few hours before I applied the second coat the same day. I could feel the neighbours eyes in the back of my head, I know they will want to do the same to their driveways in time! Highly recommend this product and for the cost, it is excellent value for money!

This product is fantastic. I thought I would buy the sample but then went for it an spoke with George at Smart Seal - excellent customer service. Once explained to me - it’s like conditioner for the tarmac - you never need to rip up the drive if you keep it in good condition. It looks so different. Love it and recommend it.

Goes on great looked amazing at first,within 2 days could see wear on drive ,if this is the best were in trouble .not worth the money

Very easy to apply. Looks great when finished. Requires good prep work before applying to an old tarmac drive. Fill cracks and complete cold-set tarmac before applying. Take time to remove moss and weeds etc. My driveway was approaching end of life with holes and deep cracking etc. Prep before applying was the bulk of the work. Looks great now and with maintenance - should last…
