I have this restaurant patio which is brown and white paving. It has been sealed over the dirt. I clean it every two weeks and I am desperately trying to "hurt" the sealing as much as possible. Every time I go, I spray the white pavers with concentrate butyl degreaser and 2 qrts of amonia per 6gal degreaser. So far I have success with removing only the sand out of it and of course better look in general
. So per method of exclusion: I think butyl will remove tire marks and will not really hurt the seal from only one time treatment. Don't count 101% on me though , I am still new to the biz.. just my opinion.

I had a job a couple of years ago where kids on bikes were skidding their tires on this woman's lite peach colored pavered driveway. Ahhh! What a mess. I used a butyl based sodium hydroxide on it. Let it dwell and had to hit it all with a turbo nozzle. It took awhile but I got it all out. I think the same would work fine for you minus the turbo nozzle. Sodium Hydroxide, Surface Cleaner and Hot Water should do it. Use the Stampede you got from Rex. That should work great! :thumbup2:

Just did a huge HOA complex. Tire marks and tracking from the (cheap) seal coating. Used a product called DTar, a citric acid product. The pavers were actually 6000 PSI stamped asphalt, epoxy coated. Worked well, and more importantly does not hard or leave any residue to the surrounding asphalt areas.

Those pavers are cleaning up real nice, are they strong enough to run a surface cleaner over or did you have to use the wand on it all?
Thanks.

Spinner, 3400 PSI at about 180 degrees. No problem
The biggest problem was traffic. I had 2 men who job description was nothing but traffic control.

They recently had the project seal coated. I'm trying to upsell them on resealing the stamped pavers. Problem once again is traffic control. The sealer needs to cure for 24 hours, and some self center fool driving over the fresh sealer would surely be a bad thing.
