Does anyone know how to get rid of tire tracks off a driveway/sidewalk? I want to get rid of two long patches of rubber about the length of a car.

 

Nope. Ya floored it, huh?

 

Not really... I don't even think its me, but its at my gf's place and she's living with her cousins... I don't want her to get in trouble. IF it was me... I never floored it on there... its a slightly sloped driveway so maybe when I put it in gear and rolled off... ARGH I dunno but I'm really worried and scared ****.

Is there a way to take it off outside of re-tarring the driveway??

 

Try a wire brush, some soap and a little bleach. Don't know if it will help, but it couldn't hurt.

 

What's a wire brush? You mean something like steel wool that some people use to wash dishes?

Soap should be fine, but one half of the driveway where half of the tire tracks are is brand new.... like laid down 3 weeks ago. So I think the bleach might hurt it. Will it not leave a light streak in place of the tire marks?

 

Yeah, like brillo, and to tell you the truth, I don't know.

 

try a powerwasher

 

Sorry, but what's a powerwasher? Do you mean high pressure water hose or something.... or do you mean a specific type of cleaner that I can purchase at the store.

Thanks.

 

It's a high pressure hose, but I don't know about it working for burnt on rubber.

 

Paint it! Go to Home Depot and have them color-match the driveway somehow. Hopefully not too noticable

 

take a little degreaser of some kind not alot thought otherwise you will get those streaks like the bleach will leave. Then take a good stiff broom apply a little water and move the broom over the marks as though you were sweeping the driveway. It make take a couple times, but it works trust me.

 

This may sound weird, but Eucalyptus Oil is very good at getting rubber/tar type stuff out of carpets (I tracked some roof waterproofing tar into my house the other day). If none of the other things mentioned above works, go buy some, put it on a brillo pad, and scrub. It should break apart the rubber tracks. The only downside is you may end up scrubbing all of the asphalt off your driveway. And I have no idea where to get the oil...I borrowed mine.
