Floor Help?

There is an auto dealer ship that has tire marks on the tile floor where they park the new cars. These tire marks are every where from several years of moving cars and parking them in the show room.

They say they tried everything possible to get them out, even the janitor supply house rep. came by to try and had no luck.
I believe that some how there is some type of chemical reaction with the rubber and the tile.

Ever deal with this?
Thanks

First off I am presuming the floor is VCT

I did lots of car dealers before I seen the down fall of many of them.

VCT will react with the rubber tires, but depending on the age of the VCT if there was any finish on the floor and how bad they want them gone, many of those marks can come off.

The key is how bad they want them off and are they willing to pay for it.

When we were doing lots of dealerships one of our first things done was puttint carpet sample down under the car tires not matter what surface they were on.

If sales people kept failing to replace the samples under the tires, the manager was informed we could not guanantee a floor would stay in shape
