How do I clean chipmunk driveway sealer tracks from my garage floor?
The two friendly chipmunks who live in a woodpile near my garage and driveway decided to walk partway across the driveway and then across the front of my garage to get from one side of the property to the other. Unfortunately they did this while the driveway sealer (8-year type) was freshly applied..
I have Naptha and gasoline and paint remover as my three chemicals of choice. Anyone ever tried any of these? I can experiment, but hoping somebody may already know the answer. |

I can experiment, Be sure to start by testing which will not remove your paint. I suspect that paint remover might be problematic. Naptha has less additives; gasoline alone might stain the paint. In either case, I suspect that black/brown from the sealer will persist, especially if the paint is light-coloured and the paint is oil-based. |

My brother though, did restorations on his cars in his 6 car garage. Cleaner than most kitchens. |

Are you concerned that his driveway and garage will be better looking than your double-wide living room? |

As others point out it is a garage floor and you can expect staining. wire brush in a elecric drill you might call and ask the sealer manufacturer for assistance, on what removes it |
