« on: March 01, 2015, 01:04:36 pm »
Any of you pressure washing guys got any idea how to get oil stains off of concrete paving slabs?

Resiblock OR (Oil remover) is good but only to be used on dry surfaces then there is OT8 which can be used on wet and dry surfaces. Both have provided good results.

Robert , What type of oil is on the area ? Also is it a recent oil spill or a old stain you are trying to remove ? Ed

You'd be better off asking these questions on the window cleaning section mate, as all pressure washers are monkey's apparently as they seem to be the people in the know for technical staff.

I'm really not interested in some beef you have with somebody on here , what a pointless thing to say.

Bold - make a paste, dwell and wash off - works on beef and pork due to the enzymes, mix the paste with water at 60 degrees
