use one of those petrol leaf blowers before you seal to blow the loose sand of the drive.

If its just a bit you need to soften the resin (re imulsify it) and remove the sand by scraping of resin and sand then a light recoat when youre happy. If it's all over then its a big problem, I know a lad who did this on his first couple of jobs, he told custy (and he's probably right) that its intentional to meet the anti slip minimum requiremts for your safety
