Driveway sealant... (floor, painting, cleaner, cleaning)

[Katie1]

Over the past few days my landlord had a company come in & seal the parking lot. After they put on the 1st coat it was getting dark & I thought that they were done for the day, Sooo I went to the store [by mobility scooter] ..It was totally dark when I returned an hour later. Unknown by me they did a 2nd coating while I was gone. So upon my return....yep you guessed it I now have Wheel Tracks thru the carpet!!! IS there anything I can clean it with????

You need to find out if it was water or oil based sealant.

In the auto body trade they have something called Prep Sol. Dupont Prep Sol 3919 to be exact. Is a liquid used to clean vehicles before repair or repainting and the like.

Just think about a car, got wax on it, got road tar, bugs and all the rest. You got to get it off easy and quick. They have a fluid to do it. Eats any type of hydrocarbon based whatever. Waxes, tars, adhesives, on and on.

Go to your local auto body repair shop, take a pint or so with you. Ask for some Prep Sol. Explain your emergency, smile.

Will take it off, just dampen a rag and rub a bit. Afterward clean again with regular carpet cleaner. Beauty of the stuff it is pretty non toxic. Can breathe it, get it on your skin no problems. Great for all sorts of cleaning chores where anything carbon based is the problem. Will not matter if it is dried, baked in, etc. I have used it to remove floor adhesive without a lot of fuss. Clean your mouse, anything with sticky stuff, most is carbon based. There is nothing else as a consumer product that remotely compares. The average bear does not have a clue the stuff exists. Sold only thru channels that normally supply the auto body trade. Not expensive, I always got a jug or two of it around.
