Title: Tyre marks on driveways
Post by: colinyates on July 18, 2011, 05:02:59 pm

New to powerwashing but recently bought a 13.5HP 15 ltr/ min combined with a whirlaway and turbo.

Did a drive way last week and the tyre marks will not come off. A

I suspect I need a chemical but which one? Also battling to remove water based paint, any more ideas?

Last one is road markings, we did a carpark and the bloke wanted a stop sign removing which proved impossible with our gear ???

to remove stains like tyre marks, paint ect! you really need hot water, try TFR with the turbo nozzel,
hope this helps,

Spoke to a guy today and he mentioned using a Orbot machine with a wire brush circular disks.  Dont mind investing in the kit but need to know if it works first.
Literaly thousands of driveways here in Johanessburg need this service.
