May 13, 2014. We recommend that you keep vehicles off of your driveway for 48 hours after the sealant is applied. For example, if your driveway was sealed at noon on Wednesday we recommend that you do not drive on it until noon on Friday. Driveway sealant dries like paint from the top down. It may feel dry on the surface but may still be wet underneath. You can walk on the driveway as soon as it feels dry to the touch, which is usually just a few hours after it has been sealed. 17356 Northwoods Blvd. Truckee, CA 96161 530-582-0300
