Brake dirt on cement driveway, what do you do?

[imported_prgallo]

After several washing, the dirt from the car really tends to darken the cement. A pressure washer will clean it, but takes a bunch of time. Other than washing the car on the grass, any suggestions? Hosing it down right after washing tends to create long streaks...

Try some PB Blaster, then hit it with water, if that does not work then try reducer/turpentine and hose off.

I use Comet or Bon Ami (both available at any grocery store) and a big brush and water. Works great and couldn't be cheaper!:up

What is PB Blaster? Didn't see it on the PoorBoy's site.

PB Blaster is not Poorboy's. PB Blaster is a lubricant sort of like WD-40 but WAY better.

Brake parts cleaner (only if it's bare concrete). That stuff takes up just about anything, including some oil stains.

Seal the driveway. Water from washing usually washes it away. If not the hose will.
