this is for slabs on my own garden not for a customer , they are very badly stained.

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.

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