Solvex
Stain pro
Citrus gel
Coffee stain remover
Filter out

Pretty much covers what i come across but i always have the top 2, imo Solvex is the best spotter and i wouldnt be without it.

powerburst and citra boost gets most out for me.

i have rust remover for rust, obviously ;D
i have sod mets for tea coffee red wine and ominous coloured stains
and i have pog for paint
thats about it really, only struggling with chewing gum at the moment........
did have hydramaster OJ for that but 1) they don't seem to stock it anymore and 2) its prone to bitumen bleed if used incorrectly.
have tried other chewing gum removers but not very good, looking for one that works really well but without effecting bitumen!!!

On the chewing gum front I was given some stuff by a cold caller salesman in here that is really impressive.

100% natural ingredients etc etc. Got a couple of guys trialling it now for feedback.

Its not gel based though so bitumen bleed may be an issue. Need to wait and see.

Citrus gel and a blunt knife is what I use for gum. Its pretty damn effective.
