Need to remove oil stains from Indian stone. Anyone had any success.  I'm usually good on concrete but Indian stone is another story.

I have thought this in the past.

Are Drive Surgeon & Chris the same person?

Aren't they both from the Liverpool area?

Rob ;D

Do you think a trailer and 4wd like he has in his pic would last 5 seconds in Liverpool??

That doesn't look like an English set up.

The trailer is Amercan and I couldn't say what the tow vehicle is.

Drive Surgeon - do you have a website, is that your set up, if so what is it?

Rob ;D

I did suggest you try old posts and search poltice - did you try that ? What sort of oil is it as the only oil I have had to remove from ****** stone has been bbq juice and I use enzymes. I use enz-all and percarb.

As for the oil stains, wouldnt the resiblock Oil Remover work? Or the OT8? Or is indian sandstone to porous for these products to work?

Depends on what oil it is, engine oil or food oils?
