We washed this commercial lot lane by lane while it was empty, and the pads, stall markings and access aisles were done by hand rather than with a surface cleaner, so we could control the pressure on the paint and actually get down between the raised domes on the pads.
What comes off asphalt is not really dirt. It is tire rubber ground into the surface, oil and fuel drip, exhaust soot, and organic debris blowing in off the landscape islands that holds moisture in the shaded bays and starts growing. That mix is what flattens a lot out to gray, and it is also why a rinse accomplishes nothing.
The clearest look at the difference is the yellow ADA pad in this one. Same surface, before and after.
If you manage a property and the lot has not been done in a while, the honest first step is just walking it and looking down. The gap between a lot that reads tired and a lot that reads maintained is usually one day of work.
