Yorkie... Is it a paved (cement) driveway or a paver driveway ? Possibly flip the pavers over... ?

 most pavers have beveled edges on the top of them... unless they are a clay brick..

 

I'm ICPI certified by the way.. pavers, patios, and retaining walls is my background... i got tired of lifting them, and decided to clean/seal them..

that is back breaking work but i know you can make a pretty penny on a paver job.

 oh yeah definatly can make good money... i was a foreman by 20 years old.. started my own gig by 24 though... just didnt want to lift another brick in my life. haha.. its good though because now all the landscape/hardscape companies i have relationships with refer me to clean and seal everything.. and they know if i see a patio that needs fixing, ill refer it back... on top of that, i can explain to the customer whats going wrong with their patio/pavers so they arent in shock when they get the price..

The best way to get oil from pavers is go to PWI and use the search button.

Who sells BT-200?

I hope that soon you'll be advising to go to PressureWashing.net

Call Doug Rucker and ask him how to accelerate the BT-200 cleaning action. I did several test areas on my driveway, and honestly cannot find the exact spot to take the after picture as it completely ate the oil out of the concrete.

I am continuing the testing procedure in a friends auto mechanic garage, so I will have the pictures to back the experiment soon.

I was really blown away by the overnight results after I used our surface cleaner on the driveway, and then followed up with Doug's suggestion.
