The wait is due to him wanting to pave several driveways in one day. Saving on the truck/crew and asphalt plant fees. 2. Sealing is a repair operation. Sun and weather eventually breakdown the gooey stuff that holds it all together. Cracks form, water gets in and a few freeze thaw cycles later, you have cracking and failure. Seal when it looks like you have cracks starting to form before they open up. No need to seal a new driveway. 3. Wait for it to cool down. Temperature over time. If it's still tacky, stay off it.
