Smartseal - Any thoughts on this product

[Stumpyclifford]

After almost thirty years building and maintaining tennis courts I have now decided to start a tennis court/driveway/patio cleaning business, although I have plenty of experience with tennis courts I only have limited knowledge of driveway/patio cleaning and sealing, so I am after your experiences of using sealants, Having done a few blockpave driveways with what I think are good results, I am now wanting your thoughts on the above product.
What do you Know?

I've only seen it used once, so I can't really comment from a personal viewpoint, but it's not one of the names that appears on the 'naughty list' compiled from emails and phone calls to the website.

Is the "naughty list" available?

Given that I'm not overly fond of being sued or having lawyers harassing me, no: the naughty list is for my own use only.

thought you might say that but thanks anyway

There are some products, and it's not just limited to sealants, that are *so* crap and widely acknowledged as being crap, that I don't mind naming and shaming them, but the naughty list is based on anecdotal evidence from other contractors, DIYers and general enquiries to the website. If it's my own opinion gained from actual experience, I'm happy to share, but when it's other folks' thoughts, it's probably best to keep quiet, but just make sure those products are not recommended by me at any time.

Some of the products on the naughty list are completely new to me and I often wonder whether I should get hold of some to see if they really are as bad as claimed, or whether there's a large element of what the IT industry refers to as "client side error".

The only reason I asked was that do not want to go down the route of trial and error, too costly.
