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!
I'm always in the poo, it's just the depth that varies

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 ?
