Answer 2

We have a lot of outdoor restaurant cafes in our town. I saw a man steam cleaning the sidewalks around one and got him to come out to my house and steam clean my patio plus steam clean my concrete drive which had a lot of oil stains on it. Gone. Noting works better than steam And the cost is not that much because the steamer man can also cleans carpets in my area as well as concerete sidewalks for restaurants so they did if for $30 and my drive and patio are quite large.

That high pressure water didnt work, i even tried my neighbors gasoline driven machine to no avail.

Answer 3

depends on the stains, we redid an auto sales lot and it looked brand new when we were done, however, i dont remember the name of the stuff we used.
You can call a concrete contractor and ask them whats the best to use, then call the concrete supply compainies in your area and get it from them if you are to do it yourself, its fairly easy, three steps
cleaner, bonder and then the finish, and it adds 250 ibs per square inch of pressure to the surface of the concrete, s
