    So a can of VHT chassis paint got ran over on my driveway awhile back, but I will be moving out the end of this month and I kind of forgot about it being there. Tonight I tried using aircraft brand paint thinner, with little luck. Anyone have any other suggestions? I thought about renting a pressure washer, but I would like some more insight on the subject. If needed I will take a picture tomorrow in the day light if you need to see the amount of area I am dealing with.

    Thanks, Jon

        rent a gas powered pressure washer, you wont even need to get any chemicals. otherwise, diesel fuel or kerosene works good.

            Bah, just put some opaque sealant down. Cover the stain AND improve the lifespan!

                Thanks for the very constructive comments, something fargostreet is famous for. I had some luck with Lift off Graffiti remover. going to go and buy a gallon tomorrow. I did look into just buying a powerwasher, but tried this other route first. Thanks.

                      If I owned the house, I would spend the extra money on doing that. But being my lease is up the end of this month, I dont see the need.

                      I was talking more so about the "jackhammer" and the "lots of elbow grease" comments. I have heard about the sand blaster, just didnt know how well that would go over with the HOA, then again I could just blame it on the dust storm.

                        actually, go get some Zip Strip jelly in the black can

                        put some of that stuff on for awhile and see what happens, that shit usually makes stuff melt instantly

                        not sure if it will discolor the concrete or not

                          How much is there? You could get after it with a wire brush if it is small enough.

                            its about a 6ft by 10ft area, with some random splatter around that
