Did you use a rubber mat underneath the whacker?

The scuff marks will disappear fairly quickly if you want avoid it in the future use a rubber mat or liberal amounts of dried sand under the plate.

loads of kiln dried, never had a problem.

No, just put some sand on top but obviously not enough. It looks hack,but Like someone said it should fade away sooner rather than the later I hope

try a stiff brush and water

[boborc]

The brush and water does not help,although you can not see it when its wet. so i guess I can stand out there with a hose like a jack ___.lol. I learned the hard way, One person told me to make sure the compactor had a teflon pad on it. The rental store said they never saw anyone use one with a pad and just sread a little sand. THEY NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. Renter Beware

if the blocks are anything but standard CBP i would use a neoprene mat
the hire shop gave you that spiel because they probably dint have one
like when i ordered a diesel wacker and they sent out a petrol one
"a wacker is a wacker" they said
"no it effing aint " i said
