Default Tire degreaser.....

So I am a little of the Corvette topic, but I really need your help. My wife got a nail in her tire and drove out of our garage with a half flat to the tire shop with out even calling me...Really?...anyways, she left rubber marks all the way down our driveway that are the exact width of the rim. It almost seems like the wheels dented the cement, but hard to believe because it had not broke thru the rubber. Anyways, I cannot get the rubber marks off. Tried Vinegar but with no success. I really need some advice because our driveway looks like s__t!!! I need some help on a product or products that may remove the rubber from cement. Thank you in advance!!!!! I really appreciate it!!!

No big deal, Use any degreaser ( purple is my favorite) and pressure wash after sitting 5 minuets. It will come right out.

If those do not work, pull out the big guns and use muriatic acid.. Be careful and after every thing else be careful....

Hydrochloric acid. -That'll melt the rubber bonded to the surface of the concrete. Allow some dwell time, then agitate and rinse with water hose.
