greasy concrete floor

Hi, I have a job to quote for which is a car valeting (PDI) centre which has a very greasy oily concrete floor which has to be cleaned to a standard to enable contractors to paint it.
My obvious concern is getting the floor clean enough to enable the paint to stick to the floor.
My plan was to use a rotary scrubber with nylon brush and heavy duty traffic lane cleaner in, scrub floor area and then wet pick up machine or scrubber dryer and possibly pressure wash as well.
Any of you guys had experiance of this work, was wondering also if after clean whether there is a primer they could put down before painting
regards

We did a large factory floor a month ago, using a rotary, scrubber, hot pressure washer and a wet pick up, If the floor has a smooth 'floated' finish, you should be ok.
We used 'Citraclean' from Greenhams.
Let the painting contractor worry about what paint to put down, they will get a whopping price for it !

You could try Ultrapac Retnovate from Prochem

Hi
Just completed a good sized warehouse floor with raw concrete on floor (not the smooth screed stuff).
Used nothing but 120 degree saturated steam and the painter was chuffed to bits with the finish.
It had a really oily finish before and now is ready for painting.
Where the oil was particularly bad I was going to use a citrus degreaser, but wasn't necessary in the end.
Hope this helps.

cheers for replys guys, have now quoted for job subject to a test clean to make sure its clean enough for painters, to cover myself.
Will prob go down the road of rotary scrubbing with high alkline traffic cleaner then wet pick up, lots of electrics on walls so steam cleaning dodgy.
