Rust on my driveway??

Couple weekends ago some friends parked their van in my driveway overnight (which BTW they are "Skinny" and they are an awesome band :up

Now, two weeks later, their "TRAIL" is still on my driveway and it's driving my nuts... Some of you know what I'm talking about with my OCD

Any suggestions on how to take this crap off?

Thanks

get nekkid and stand outside , the marks mite not go away immediatly but they wont look like hell to the nieghbors no more

 

Seriously.

 

Are you not getting any at home these days??? You sure have your mind in the gutter

Do I need to use a toilet brush?

 

No, but if you do, please get pics.

 

LMAO just trying to help out your nieghbors

 

Go to a masons supply house and pick up some muriatic acid. Pour it on the effected areas and wait about 30 seconds, then rinse it off with the hose. Repeat this process until it's gone. Just don't leave the acid on for too long as it will scarify the surface of the concrete and shorten it's life span.

 

I can only imagine

Hmmm wonder if that could scare some away

 

Wow... sounds complicated LOL

 

it just might cuz i sure would move after that

 

You just want me to go try so my white butt is in the open

OK... gonna try the toilet cleaner stuff and let you guys if it works or if my a** really looked stupid from trying

 

Muriatic acid, think Homey Depot and Lowes still carry it or try a local hardware store. Dilute it with water at least 50-50 to be safe or chances are you're going to etch the concrete. Rinse it off after a few minutes, repeat as necessary. Sprinkle baking soda on it to neutralize the remaining acid when done. Be a good citizen and don't let the runoff go down the sewer. And wear gloves, eye protection, a respirator and a yellow hazmat suit.

 

The toilet cleaner is just a milder acid, you'll still want to rinse. I'm on a well here and the local water has a high iron content. That stuff destroys iron stains.

 

Would CLR work?

 

I will try the toilet cleaner and if it doesn't work then while out tomorrow i will stop at Loews which means I will come home with more stuff... I can't resist when I go there...always buy goodies

 

what's that? I am afraid to ask

 

Calcium Lime Rust. it's a cleaner in a green bottle, GutterBrain.......

there is a product called Rid o Rust. They have a cleaner solution that works pretty well for that kind of stain. www.ridorust.com

 

Cool I will try anything at this point... I can't stand it

Just to show you how much my friends like me

 

Pool supply has muratic acid cheap. A heavy synthetic bristle broom is best for not melting and giving the rust a good rubbing. The idea is to have the driveway the same color/shade when your done. Wet the entire driveway first. 50/50 is strong so you'll have to work fast. Hit the rust spots hard and fast but the rest not so much. Have someone follow you with a hose and rinse it off quickly. It's better to be cautious the first time so you don't ruin the concrete. Muratic acid will evaporate. Cover your eyes or you'll be sorry.
