ok.. this is very much off topic.. but I recently had an incident at my uncles house involving my car and his driveway :D well to be honest.. it was quite embarassing.. i was driving out his long drive way.. looked over my sholder and stupidly.. pressed the brake on accident with my left foot insead of right.. and started to skid.. he said if i clean it tommorow he wont tell my parents.. LOL

so basically i need you guys to give some tips.. or suggestions to get the marks off.. the marks are quite thin (meaning not much rubber on it, but they are dark, if that made sense!) and the drive way is concrete with the imprinted design.. it is colored black.. but he wants it gone!! i was thinking of petrol with wire brush.. but not sure if thats good for the concrete.. also there is also water and wire bursh but not sure if that will work at all...

So please help me out.. i need help asap!

Yeah i guess so.. just thought maybe some one had the same experience... thanks all.. i think i will be sticking with either the laundry detergent or some kind of degreaser like carby-cleaner or just the standard degreaser.. if that doesnt work then try some petrol..


thanks for the help guys.. im going to bed soon.. any more last minute suggestions?

Degreasers are MEANT to be used on concrete :rolleyes: We're talking cleaners here not volatile acids.
