Hi.
I own the Waterless Car Cleaning Company & our products have initially been disigned for industrial use. Our Tar remover is ideal for the application you describe.
Contact us on

Rob,
If they won't buff out with a red or blue pad (dry) try just damp mopping them then buff over.
I get scuff marks from chidren's school shoes in my contracts and some cannot be removed by mopping or by dry buffing but the above method removes 99 % of them- as most of the marks are from rubber soles it might work-and you won't damage the finish on the floor which white spirit might.

You can also use artist rubbers which come in a variety of sizes (up to 2" wide) and shapes and textures. They are like a paint brush but with the rubber instead of the bristles.
I know a lot of leather repairers carry a set of these for removing those stubborn scuff marks from shoes around the base of chairs etc rather then chemicals and they last for ever, also good for a number of other uses.
NO not that type of use, only professional use

I Know Express have just started selling a rubber-headed broom that's very good for black rubber marks - seen it in action and it brings the marks off easily, just leaves the scuffmark behind which your polisher will sort out. They're about twelve quid.

We find in school's this to be a major problem. 50% of the black shoe marks can be got out by the cleaner wearing non-marking soles and rubbing their feet on the black mark (makes you look a bit stupid doing it though).
To find a real answer to this problem would help lot of school caretakers out. The rubber-headed broom sounds a good idea, does it work anyone?

Thanks Perry, I might just give that a go. I'll certainly tell some of my fellow caretakers about it.

The problem is not so much removing the marks, but why they got there!
Ususal cause is insufficient polish and insufficient buffing.
Another 2 coats of high solids polish and increased buffing and you won;t get black heel marks in the first place.
