To seal or not to seal? That is the question. (New Pavement)

[SwampYankee]

Well instead of buying a new truck, buying a new low profile/lightweight curtainside body for our delivery truck or buying a new E63 AMG Estate we got this:










55,000 sq.ft. of virgin asphalt. My question is, after giving it time to set up and cure, is it better to seal it or just leave it alone? The last paving job lasted 30 years and it was pretty skimpy compared to what we just did. There have been some heated discussions as to whether sealing it will lengthen its lifespan. We are going to seal the spot where our delivery trucks park to protect the pavement from fluid drops.

I wish I was a skateboarder. I might have to pick up a couple go-karts, for the kids of course.
