Not sure if anyone else has on here has done this before, but it seems there's a few out there have after a search on Google...
Been in our new build house 4 months now with a nice new Tarmac driveway. I applied some tyre dressing about a month ago and it had left 4 black marks (where each wheel is). I thought after a few days of rain and sun it would have washed it out but it doesn't appear to be shifting.
Now I've read a results on Google about people suggesting certain cleaning products and a pressure washer but I'm concerned about damaging the surface even further. I haven't got round to just using the pressure washer yet as I need to get an outside tap sorted, but I'm going to get one picked up later after work.
So, any recommendations? Cheers!

Pressure washer. When they first came into the shops dad got one and did a the drive which had never been cleaned in 30 years of the driveway being there. Worked a treat.

Forgive what might be a large pic for smaller resolutions but here's a pic. I applied some swarfega outdoor cleaner that said it was suitable for drives last night, (this pic was taken before). I think it might have faded it slightly but I'll see when I get home after some sunshines been on it.

If not, get some gunk and get scrubbing.
My drive has the same, ours is only 6 months old though and my parents hate me for it.
