Tire Marks on curbing

[Jonathan Ellis]

What is THE BEST product you guys have found for removing tire marks off curbing?

 

[Danny Bates]

HOT water!

I spray degreaser on them first, do the flatwork, then come back to the curbs with the wand and HOT water. Works well for me.

This is on there thick. Hot water alone lightens them. Butyl degreaser and hot water lightens them. Caustic lightens it. What will make it go away?

I haven't found anything that will remove deeply ground in tire marks.The rubber gets pushed into the pores of the concrete to a point it won't come out.
The curve in a drive thru is always the worst.

I have a couple curbs at the drive thrus that the tire marks won't come completely clean either. Someone mentioned muratic acid if you don't let it sit too long, but I haven't tried that.

I can usually get them cleaned with heat and pressure, but on the drive thru curves, it didn't get the deep tire marks. The carb cleaner got the rest out. Only used 1/2 can at $3.50.
