Tire marks on concrete

[Bray84]

Any of you fellas have a good remedy to remove tire marks off of concrete? I have pressured washed the concrete and it has definitely helped but is there anything I can put down to help remove the marks? Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe bug and tar remover? Let it soak for a few minutes and then try pressure washing again?

Petroleum based products generally stain concrete- even clear products (or the combinations of those and elements already in/on the concrete).

The “black” of tires is nothing more than carbon- and carbon will breakdown with heat/UV and oxidation (anybody ever wondered why roadways don’t have huge piles of rubber next to them?).

I do know that Dawn works well on concrete with oil/fluid stains...
Rubber is probably just time.

Do yourself a favor and buy, rent, or steel a floor scrubber (autoscrubber) with a black scrubbing pad. That is what I used to clean my shop floor and a couple of friends shop floors after the construction was done and all the tire marks and oil leaks were left on the floor. I’ll try and attach some before and after pics. Use a tiny amount of dawn dish soap and water in your floor machine with a black pad and when you get done your floor will be so clean your shoes will screech like a gym floor.
