Just wondering if anyone has any (efficient) tricks to get tire marks off white vinyl fence?
Seems like maybe I have read about magic eraser in the past but have not tried it.
How big? Magic Erasers should work good.

Yes I always keep a box or two of magic erasers in the truck. You can reuse them a bunch of times too. Great for scuff marks. Will usually get tire marks off vinyl fence. If it’s stubborn I’ve used some degreaser with a magic erasers and wash it off.

Wonder how F9 Groundskeeper would work? It takes tire marks off concrete well
Good idea, I need to get some.
I think it’s Home Depot that carries the jumbo sized ones, those were worth getting along with some regular sized ones.
Just makes sure they are wet when you use them.
Anything that requires hand scrubbing we wont touch.
Just set expectations from the beginning.

Purchase them off of eBay to save cash.
Twice recently I’ve seen splashed red and brown stain on vinyl that seems to be coming from dye in colored mulch. House wash didn’t get it off. Microfiber cloth didn’t either. I wouldn’t leave it there…I scrub less than 1% of the time…but those erasers come in handy when you need them.

I’ve used gutter grenade it’s been a while but I think it worked.
Thanks for all the input guys. Already sold the job as a normal fence wash so I’ll see if he wants to spend some extra for us to try some magic eraser and degreaser on it.
If you already sold the job, clean the marks. Don’t try to get extra money for something you already agreed to clean. If you feel it’s that much extra work you should have added the extra fee when you originally quoted the job.
Its all how he sold the job. If he told the dude the marks aren’t going to come off with a normal wash then no need to clean them off. It’s all about setting expectations.

Job was sold on removing all organic debris per our estimate:
“Fence pressure washing service includes pressure/soft washing both sides of fence to remove all organic debris such as dirt, mold, algae, and cobwebs. A specialized cleaning solution will be used to kill and remove any mold or algae which will prevent it from returning longer versus using plain water.”
The guy emailed later asking about the tire marks. I said they usually do not come off with our normal process but would check into it. 412-ft of 2 rail vinyl so probably 50 posts to scrub. We always try to help people out but were not doing that for free lol!

My buddy use to teach history and coach football at L-P.
That’s funny! Small world! How old is your buddy? I graduated from LP in 1996.
About the same. He probably started there right around 2000. I think he taught and coached there until 2012 as the assistant coach until he was put on leave. You might’ve heard about it. I haven’t thought about him in years. It has probably been more than 10 years since I’ve even talked to him. We grew up and played sports together from grade school to high school. We were from Metamora.
Don’t remember hearing about that but hopefully everything has worked out for him.
Do you still live/work around Metamora? We get some leads from Varna and Lacon sometimes that I would be happy to send your way…
I do. That would be great and truly appreciated!
