How can I fix tire marks in asphalt?

I was pulling out of my driveway the other day and had to do a hard brake to avoid hitting my kid’s bike, which was accidentally left out. There’s now a bunch of rubber marks on our newly-paved driveway. How can I remove the tire marks in our asphalt?

You’re pretty lucky not to have hit your kid’s bike—that might actually cost more to replace than it will to fix the tire marks in your asphalt!
You can clean up your driveway using items found around the home. All you need is a bucket of water or hose, liquid dishwashing detergent, and a sponge. Here’s what to do:
  • Wet the asphalt where your tire marks are
  • Cover the tire marks with your dishwashing detergent
  • Use your sponge to scrub the tire marks until they’re fully gone
  • Wash the soap away using fresh water to remove any residue
