Watco do Blacktop and Redtop asphalt  restorer see their website for a data sheet etc. it is £180 for 25 litres applied with roller. 5 to 10 square metres per 5 litres. they also supply fillers etc. researched this for a client earlier this year but was too expensive so i have no experience of using the stuff.

Good Luck

I agree that the 'restorer' coatings can be expensive, but you may not need them.
Lots of tarmac drives look great simply by pressure cleaning them.
They may not go back to their original colour, but cleaning can save a lot of money for your client and still make a dramatic difference.

Be careful though, if the surface of the tarmac is not 'sound', it can lift if not treated sympathetically.
Also, cleaning tarmac takes a lot longer than other surfaces due to the cleanup time.

Hope this helps.

i was in b@q recently when i saw tarmac restorer in a 5 litre tin it was roller applied by that i mean paint roller, not steam, and it was not that expensive either about 20 quid or so. i purchased a tin and did my driveway and it looks really good.
