Default Rookie mistake - Meguiar's Hot Shine on my driveway

I sprayed my tires with Meguiar's Hot Shine tire spray. The tires look great, but...

The bottle even says to use protection over concrete or asphalt due to staining, but of course I neglected to do so. Now I've got 4 stain arcs on my driveway. Any ideas on how to remove?

Thanks in advance...

Haven't used the Meguiars product but have had a similar issue with other tire dressing on an exposed aggregate concrete driveway. Small consolation maybe, but eventually with a few months of weathering, the marks disappeared.

You can try Muriatic acid which is used for cleaning concrete, otherwise wait for the stain to weather

That was going to be my sarcastic suggestion. Joking aside, I used a similar product on the street in front of my house (knowing it was likely to leave a concrete mark), and it's still there today....that was over a year ago!

Start out with dilute muriatic should do the job ....
amp it up with intensity and time....

I apologize. Forgot to mention, a 20 to 1 ratio (water to acid) is standard to start with - you can adjust from there if necessary.

Try this: works for oil and other stains on concrete....Baby Powder.

Sprinkle enough to cover. Let sit until next rain.

A bucket of warm water, some dawn dish detergent and a brush.
Easy fix!

Thanks for the many and varied replies, all. I'll let Sandy do her work on it over the next few days and see where I'm at next weekend.
