I don't think TFR will do it for you, any more info you can give, what type of dirt is on the floor etc, is there a lot of rubber (tyre) marks etc. A photo would help.

Can't recommend what is the best van to use.
I have a 4x4 pick-up and trailer set-up.

A good degreaser will be a must. If it's just general dirt, then the TFR may help, if you are using a non-caustic you could always up the ratio a bit, but that would be your choice depending on the surface condition etc.

What surface was the oil on, concrete? What strenght brick acid did you use?
Someone else said that brick acid works, I haven't tried it myself.
Did it remove the carbon shadowing?

Oil was on concrete ,used travis perkins extra strength mortar cleaner,concentration not listed on container,but recommended dilution was 4 to 1 but used it neat got rid of all shadowing looks like it must have when laid
