    These guys make it, various online retailers sell it:

    Do you find the coating makes much difference, does it reduce wearing/stones coming loose?

    Everbuild are a reputable brand and there is loads of their stuff shifted through Toolstation. However I am always puzzled by the idea of a water based tarmac restorer. Tarmac receives endless rain, and also abrasion from vehicles. Thus I have never understood how such products can actually work. Think it through - the original tarmac definitely was not water based, because this runs contrary to the concept of tarmac, so how can a water based product magically restore a drive?

    It's no different to the wheel blackening compound people use when they want to sell a car; as you suggest, it does nothing for the drive.
