When it's dry apply xylene (thinners) to the bloomed area. Thinners softens the resin and releases the bloom which is trapped Co I believe it is, but don't forget I was off sick the day we did chemistry!

The swiss seal is acrylic then just run over the emulsified areas with xylene and it'll be ok -  so long as the drive is still clean then there's no need to do anything else. Polyurethene sealers are a different matter. Are you not a bit optimistic sealing this time of year ?
