Removing tire tracks from driveway?
What's the best product to use to remove tire tracks from my driveway. I was told that a power washer will remover the protective coating. Thanks in advance.

For plain concrete, a pressure washer with some concrete cleaner will do the trick.
You can also try some clorox bleach and water with a good bristle driveway broom if you don't own a pressure washer.

I have plain concrete. I'll give the clorox a shot. I noticed a contractor on my way in to work using soft scrub and a brush.
Thanks for the advice.

Glad I could help. I use chlorox in a garden sprayer mixed with water. I wet the concrete with water from the hose, spray the driveway in sections using the chlorox and let it sit for about 15 minutes. I rinse it off with the hose and it looks brand new.

A Heavy-Duty Floor Cleaner
Here's a recipe for a solution that will remove extra-tough dirt and grime from asphalt, glazed or unglazed ceramic tile, concrete, flagstone, and slate floors:
Mix 1⁄4 cup low-sudsing, all-purpose cleaner; 1 cup ammonia; and 1⁄2 gallon cool or cold water. Caution: Wear rubber gloves, and work in a well-ventilated area when using this powerful solution.
Apply the solution to the floor with a sponge mop, using pressure for heavily soiled areas; rinse with cool, clear water for spotless results.
Dry with a soft cloth.

If you're using bleach, be careful not to get rinse water on your grass. It could kill it.
I use a power washer on mine, but I bet that Greased Lightning would do a good job.

Thompson's also makes a good concrete sealer. After it's clean and dry, you can put that down which will help protect it for a year or so.
