Removing Unwanted Rubber Marks??? UPDATED

Well, I left some black marks last night in a place I did not care to leave them. Done a couple of doughnuts. Anyone know of a way to get that stuff to come up or dissolve. They are not real dark, but you can see them, and I want to remove them, or make them appear to be part of the pavement.

I was thinking of Wesley's Bleach White. I use that to clean my tires, and thought if I bought a refill jug, and poured it on the marks they should dissolve into the surrounding surfaces. Might be a little darker than it was originally before the marks were made, but will not be as obvious.

Concrete or Asphalt?
If on concrete, BIX paint stripper with methylene chloride will swell up the rubber and you may be able to get it off that way. Asphalt, It'll have to wear off or you'll have to sealcoat over it.

I think that Bleachwhite will work pretty good.
It dissolves a little bit of the rubber to bring back the nice black rubber underneath.

If it is on Asphalt, follow up with a little Diesel fuel, as it makes asphalt nice and soft.

OK, Fess up... How well did you do lay 'em down?
Not to make you feel worse or anything like that, but if done REALLY well, they can show for YEARS!

Can you Say OOOPS?

When I was A young Squid my I was home Ported in the same town my folks lived in. Well they were out of town and we had a Divisional BBQ in the back yard and one of my Fellow Snipes decided to let his Cuda light off in his driveway.
I couldn't get it out with anything.
Good Luck

That is scary man, just plain scary. Were you hiding in the bushes?

After youth meeting last night. I was waiting around for the rest of the parents to pick up their kids. One of my buddies in the group was like I wonder if that new Edge EZ has helped it out much. It had just rained, so I thought it shouldn't hurt anything. Well, I jumped in and got out in the middle where I THOUGHT it was wet, soon as I turned, (DOUGH) all I heard was scrrreeeeeecccchhhhhh, and it had went around two times before I could let off good. So what started out as a test run in the social hall parking lot, turned out to be a couple of chocolate doughnuts. Good thing is, it is in an area that is not used much. So I am planning a little excursion tonight after dark to put down some of the bleach white. Hopefully it will take care of it. I feel bad about it, and at 23 should have been responsible enough to know better, but I was under the consideration that it was wet, and would slide easily. If nothing else, it just needs to get the MAXXIS BUCKSHOT MUDDER grip marks faded out, so their is not a finger print.


I gonna go and ask for forgiveness now.


"Lord forgive me for marking your land. Although I know it is much better than having a Powerchoke, or Duramaxi park there. Yes Lord, I know they need to park out on the side of the road so as not to draw attention as if it were a junkyard and not a church. I will do my best to remove the marks. Forgive me and teach me to follow your ways Lord. P.S. thank you for blessing me with a CUMMINS. Amen.

Happy Out

A good pressure washer will remove most rubber marks.
