    hey guys,

    quick question. I read somewhere that someone used iron cut and it changed the color of the driveway at the house they were working at. Is this a possibility?

    Thanks for all your help.

    You probably read one of my old posts. I used to use Iron Cut on my asphalt driveway until I noticed that it was leaving white "milky" runs. The color difference wasn't extreme because my driveway was due for a seal. Once I sealed my driveway, everything went back to normal and I haven't seen any bleed-through. Another product to watch for is anything that removes tar (Tarminator and Tar X for example). Use common sense, wet the driveway before you work on a vehicle and rinse it off after you are done. Make sure to rinse it often during warm weather.
