What do you recommend to clean off tire marks on my new slab before applying ghostshield 4500 and 8510 penetrating sealer?

Some photos of what I'm working with. d42fbc0655f13fb72c207fe143c843c4.jpg04d13bfb61de7bc72691eea442ef1038.jpg

A good striper used to remove floor wax should do will with a swing buffer. Rinse it well after

A decent pressure washer with surface cleaner attachment should get that off. I had similar situation and that completely removed the true marks.

Floor buffer with rotary brush and a good cleaner or degreaser. If they are bad may need to be grinded off or they will be sealed in forever if you clear seal. A colored coating would just hide them.

Slow speed floor machine with a black pad and a little bit of laundry detergent in water is what we used to remove the tire marks from my shop floor before sealing. My floor looked as bad or worse when we started.
