Hi Jesse. Ugh… we hate when that happens. Pressure washers alone aren’t always effective for removing tire marks. Scrubbing is usually what’s needed. Also, Purple Power is higher on the alkaline scale with a pH between 11 and 12. This helps with grease and oil, but not necessarily as well with tire marks. We suggest testing it against a cleaner that is less alkaline such as Simple Green. It has pH of 9 and may cut into the tire marks better. Apply a solution of each to an area and let it dwell for minute. Scrub and then rinse. Hopefully that will do it. If you have a lot of tire marks, then you may want to rent a floor maintainer with a green scrub pad to do the scrubbing for you. Just keep in mind that the more aggressive you get with your cleaning the more those areas may look different than the rest of the floor.

We are past the cure time and are wanting to seal it. We have ordered the PS100 with the Densifier. We are trying to clean the floor, but they ran the 8,000 pound telehandler on the concrete, leaving tire marks. We haven’t been able to get the tire marks out, trying our pressure washer as well as Purple Power. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hi Greg. Can you clarify a couple of things? I’m not quite sure what you mean about the chemicals and stain. Are you looking for a quality coating product that looks great and will stand up to your New England winters and protect the concrete?

We have a 40-year-old two car garage concrete floor(added Silpro TDQ to cover slight aggregate areas) and want to paint grey and add protection from salt etc from winter snow melting from 1 car. we live in New England. I’d like to rent a diamond tipped sander to really clean and open up pores of concrete than put down appropriate chemicals and stain etc. What steps/products would you recommend getting best results including avoiding the paint from coming up due to hot tires?
Thanks a lot,
Greg
