My way is never the ONLY way to get shit done. I test stuff, I learn why it works, and sometimes I find something later that works even better and change my mind. I’m not here to tell you there’s only one product that’ll work, I’m here to ruin my own stuff so we can figure out what DOES! 🤌 #CleanTok #cleaninghacks #howto #LearnOnTikTok #fyp @Josieultrapriv Hope this helps and I hope you find out who did that!

i hope they got a real kick out this one SO SOMEBODY SPRAY PAINTED YOUR DRIVEWAY. WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO NOW? SPRAY PAINT DRYING SPRAY PAINT DRIES BECAUSE ALL THE SOLVENTS THAT KEEP IT LIQUID EVAPORATE AWAY, AND WHAT'S LEFT BEHIND HARDENS ONTO THE SURFACE. NOW HERE COMES SPRAY SUNSCREEN WITH ALCOHOL AND OTHER SOLVENTS, BASICALLY REVERSING PART OF THAT PROCESS. THEY SOAK INTO THAT DRIED PAINT AND START SOFTENING AND LOOSENING IT BACK UP. AND ON GLASS, YOU CAN LITERALLY HAPPEN IN REAL TIME. AND THIS IS ALSO WHY NO ONE IN WHAT I'M DOING ANYMORE, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE NEXT WORDS OUT OF MY MOUTH ARE ABOUT TO BE CRAZY AS SHIT. I KNOW AN HOA HATES TO SEE MY ASS COMING. NOW FOR THE DRIVEWAY. I SPRAY PAINTED THIS MASTERPIECE. I LET IT SIT LONG ENOUGH TO REALLY MAKE ITSELF AT HOME, FREAKING POURING DOWN, RAINING. SO AFTER MOTHER NATURE PRESSURE WASHED IT FOR FREE, IT STILL WASN'T GOING ANYWHERE. SO WE'RE FINALLY READY TO SEE WHAT ACTUALLY GETS THIS SHIT OUT. REMEMBER WHEN SPRAY SUNSCREEN HAD A SOLVENT BREAK THAT BINDER DOWN? WELL, THIS STUFF HAS A SHITLOAD OF SOLVENTS, AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED, WORKED ITS WAY DOWN INTO THE CONCRETE. BREAK THAT SHIT DOWN TO GET IT BACK OUT. SO YOU JUST SPRAY SIT FOR FIVE MINUTES, SCRUB PUT YOUR WATER HOUSE ON THE HIGHEST PRESSURE YOU GOT AND HAVE AT IT. NOW, WHAT YOU GOT FOR ME NEXT? LOVE

Transcript

So somebody spray painted your driveway. What are you supposed to do now? Spray paint dries because all the solvents that keep it liquid evaporate away, and what's left behind hardens onto the surface. Now here comes spray sunscreen with alcohol and other solvents, basically reversing part of that process. They soak into that dried paint and start softening and loosening it back up. And on glass, you can literally watch it happen in real time. And this is also why no one in my house asks me what I'm doing anymore, because they know the next words out of my mouth are about to be crazy as shit. I know an HOA hates to see my ass coming. Now for the driveway. I spray painted this masterpiece. I let it sit long enough to really make itself at home, freaking pouring down, raining. So after mother nature pressure washed it for free, it still wasn't going anywhere. So we're finally ready to see what actually gets this shit out. Remember when spray sunscreen had a solvent to break that binder down? Well, this stuff has a shitload of solvents, and that's exactly what we need, worked its way down into the concrete. Break that shit down to get it back out. So you just spray, sit for five minutes, scrub, put your water hose on the highest pressure you got and have at it. Now, what you got for me next? Love
