Title: WD40 in limestone what's the best method for removal ?
Post by: Smudger on March 24, 2016, 04:46:39 pm: Got a customer who while cleaning and maintaining their bike has sprayed WD40 all over the limestone patio ::)roll

What's the best approach at getting this out

Cheers

Hmmm... If it wasn't a customers patio that just cost them 4 grand I would be tempted to try !

Thx Kev - what's the process for this stuff - is it 2 visits ? How long does it need to be down for, just so I know what I'm quoting for time wise
