Title: Best oil remover for block paving, pattern concrete etc?
Post by: Kenny83 on August 07, 2012, 09:44:48 pm
as title says, looking for opinions on the best oil remover in your experience, heard a few people mention jizer and emulsifying solvent based degreasers, I personally have never used them, I have used swarfega oil and grease remover with good results in the past, although the oil reappeared after a week or so, also used your usual TFR, gunk driveway cleaner, no nonsence driveway cleaner with not really good results....
Any body recommend a really good one?
thanks

I use something called ot8

Good gear. stubborn old stains take a seco d or third go but usually does the trick.

If it is engine oil, then these days I use Resiblock OR and then followup with the OT8, The OR needs to go on dry, then if it still looks like then is a chance of the stain being there I use the OT8 as it can go on a wet surface. If it is a thiner oil, IE Olive oil etc then something different is needed.

yes I have seen resiblock OR roger but i was under the impression it may be something else like jizer with a resiblock sticker on?
I've heard of OT8 before guys, seems good.
What would you use if it was something like olive oil roger?
