Tips

Always avoid oil and gas spills on your asphalt service, sealcoated or not. Clean up any spills with soap and water. If you have a car dripping oil, place a piece or cardboard or plywood to protect the driveway until the car can be repaired.
Make sure the car is in motion when turning on the sealed surface to prevent tire marks & scuffing of the sealed surface.
When parking vehicles of trailers on your driveway for extended period of time, placing a piece of wood under the tires and tongue to prevent depressions.
If you work on your car in your driveway, place a piece of wood under the jack, jack stands or ramps to prevent dents.
Place a piece of metal or wood under side stand of motorcycles, especially in the summer sun.
Asphalt is a flexible material and on hot sunny days asphalt is particularly vulnerable to depressions, scuffing and tire marks.
