Power washer marks and TLPPC?

Ok I thought I finished prepping my floor for TLPPC. I scrubbed with simple green, acid etched, neutralized, power washed and scrubbed with simple green. I think the floor looks good but I left some marks in the floor from the power washer. Will the TLPPC mask them at all? Any recommendation of trying to get rid of them? I'm pretty sure I'll create more if I try to get rid of them all together. Maybe rent a floor scrubber with a coarse scrubbing pad and more simple green?

Thanks for any help
Tom

TLPPC will not mask that but rather accentuate it. Any contrast in the floor will "pop" much more one the product goes down. I would either keep pressure washing until the marks are not visible (try going perpendicular to the existing marks) or bite the bullet and rent a grinder for a day.

The TLPPC is not going to mask the marks at all. The floor scrubber will get rid of them for sure, but you may want to try some simple green and a short bristle deck brush first.

I ended up renting the floor scrubber again and quickly going over the floor with a coarse pad and some simple green. Took care of it no problem. Wort the $35 for the rental and two pads. Now to wait a day or two for it to dry and I can finally get the floor done.

Remember concrete takes a while to really dry. Give it at least 3 days. The floor color should lighten up.
