Removing burnout marks

I know it sounds a bit on the comical side... but it's really not..

This past summer I cleaned out my truck and everything to go wash it, and I spun my tires a little bit in the middle of the driveway and it left a mark. Also, when getting my Dakota on the tire ramps, I peeled a little rubber in the garage.

How do I get these stupid marks out?

I know the one in the driveway was my fault for screwing around... but I want to remove the ones out in the shop.

I've tried power washing them, scrubbing them, etc... nothing seems to work. I can't figure it out.

Muratic acid diluted 1:1 with water. If that dont work bust out the grinder and wire wheel.

You can probably go to your local pool supply house (maybe an SCP in your area?) and pick this up. I didn't know this worked?

This stuff is the bomb, it gets almost anything off of concrete. It should do the trick... I was going to recommend it but Ftruck05 beat me to it.

We use it to wash brick. Make sure to rinse the area off really good afterwards though.
