Tire Marks

[gbran 14]

I have a customer with a 400ft concrete driveway. The edges and borders are stamped concrete with the pigment/glaze finish, the rest is natural concrete finished. The client uses a farm tractor to clear snow from the driveway, and the big cleated tires always leave some pretty good black marks where the tractor makes turns. As for the squares of natural concrete I haven't had many problems removing those with just hot water. The stamped edges are what give me a fit! I've never been able to get rid of those completely with out harming the glazed finish.

Its almost time to do this job again, so can anyone suggest a product to remove tire marks without harming the stamped finish?

Thanks.

Sorry, I thought I had already taken care of the signature.

Butyl based degreasers are good at removing rubber tire marks (think forklifts in a warehouse), but I have no idea how the "glazed finish" will fare.
