hi all,
hope your doing good.
I have been asked to clean some oil stains that was split on saturday from a chainsaw.
would clean with a turbo nozzle suffice? if not what do you recommend?
thanks in advance

Turbo won't get it out.
Soak up any wet excess oil with sand or sawdust.
Then apply a coat of Resiblock OR or OT8 and repeat as necessary.
Ideally hot wash off

thanks for prompt reply which is best product to use resiblock or OT8? do you have to leave them along time?
would you clean the area first with pressure wash and then apply the remover?

Try pressure washing first...It's so dirty it "might" just be sat on top of the C rap

Clean it first, apply Ot8, scrub then give it about 30mins to work it's magic then rinse.
Are you quoting fir the whole drive? As it will look silly with a clean patch.
Also where abouts are you based?

That's very kind of you, thanks for offering.
For a new startup it's not too bad, I find it hard to market the services tho, not enough funds
I presume most find it difficult?

What advertising are you doing at the moment and have you got a website?

I get a lot of my work through referrals but in the new year I'm going to try adwords, signs next to jobs, and maybe get the van stickered up but I have been putting it off as its a vivario and will probably break down as soon as its done
