Something to disolve tarmac

[kindai]

Looking for the best option really, local pathways were re-done and the guys who did it wernt the most careful, ended up getting tarmac over the brickwork and concrete, unfortunately nobody was around for a day so it had time to stick and stain.

Anyone know the best product I can put on to dissolve it away, dont want to go down the route of chipping/scraping it off incase it ends up worse, so would like to put something on and let it soak in hopefully meaning a scrub with a brush or power hose will lift it.

I was thinking diesel, or maybe acetone would be best?

Diesel melted my marked drive free of tarmac stains. There was the smell though...

Contact the party responsible and get them to put the mess they caused; right again.

Honestly I could rather spend a few quid and know some monkeys not going to turn up with a spade and just scrape it off and make it look worse.

Traffic film remover should work. Never used it myself so I'm not sure what it would do to a wall. If your going to try some sort of spirits I've just been using g some hammerite thinners. That's strong acetone.

Obligatory napalm

Turpentine

Autoglym do a very good tar remover for vehicles, couple of quid a bottle can't see why it wouldn't work for you

Was my first thing I went for, however it evaporates too quickly.

Diesel, kerosene or some sort of spirits (Turps, white etc)

WD40 works just as well as autoglym stuff.
