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.

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

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
