Yes. All the spray-n-wipe sealants will last 2 weeks to 3 months depending on your application and environment. Well applied, garaged, dry climate will give you 3 months. Poorly applied, stored outside, winter salt spray, washed with a non-coating-friendly soap and they last ~2 weeks.

If you want something more durable that will last 12-36mo, then move up to a durable hydrophobic coating (but they're not really DIY for novices since surface prep and application technique are critical). Similar rules apply. 12-24mo for DD winter climate, 36+mo for a garage queen.
