I've never done it, but the reviews on Gardner 4.75 Gal. Drive 5 Blacktop Driveway Filler/Sealer-7545-GA - The Home Depot seem to be good.

Hate to say it but it sounds like application error. From what I've seen the cheap asphalt sealers look the same as the better ones when first applied but the cheaper ones tend to fade quicker.

What I meant was initially they all look the same, the better ones should look better longer and seal longer [won't need to be redone as soon]

Generally the price is indicative of the quality. The higher priced sealer should hold up longer.
