    For all those thinking this is a kink based question, well, no, I mean tyre rubber.

    Maybe @datto has some hot tips, but what is best to quickly remove someones tyre marks from plain concrete ?

    To get it off you simply put it into reverse :rolleyes:

    You could try hot water pressure wash but most likely you'll need a solvent of some kind - maybe Prepsol. Beware, being a solvent, you need to take a lot more care

    You'll need a strong solvent, and a HOT high pressure washer.
    It's a real pain in the ass.

    I've had to do this before to clean up somebody else's mess...

    I found great success burning the marks off. Can of propellant and fire. Not kidding!

    I'd have to check with your neighbour, if satisfied, you'd re-lay too. :D

    I could try burning it off.....with portable gas.....that may work. The hot pressure clean would mean hundreds of sqms needing to be done too match.

    The ass tenants did it right at the top....so it is the first dang thing you see.....

    Damn, how big is this driveway?
    I've removed with a petrol powered pressure cleaner, basically took the top layer of concrete off too though, so probably not ideal in your case

    And the way it works...is you see the cross over first, and it is right at the cross over.....

    So if you were coming too look, first thing you will see is the marks....

    Yeah, had a high pressure petrol washer before it was stolen in Bankstown, but it would rip mortar from brickwork....would not suit doing small section of drive.

    I have cleaned minor tyre marks off when doin low pressure on a whole drive, but I wint get compensated for this....so not looking for a day off work if I can avoid it.

    Sounds like fun. I'm surprised I haven't had to do this before.

    @dabbler please try the fire method and document ;)

    I am still thinking about this....I have time, so if I find a decent way.......

    Still think datto should try the dunnydore in reverse though....it might just work.
