i was told about using xr pad but i'm worried of causing any damage to parts that have no blacktop lol.

Phil,

Realistically, the XR pad is for low profile tiles / carpets. A brush will be far better on the thick stuff.

One of the reasons I told you to check with Shaun (Bradbury) is that you will get the correct answer. I was actually told by someone at DF a few years ago that you could use the brush with heat on (which appears to be the wrong advice..
