I've got a black driveway (now a faded after a couple of years) but have a small patch of oil on it. I don't want to seal or treat the entire thing driveway, just looking for something that will lift off the oil patch.
Thanks for your videos, they're very helpful. But I have a question, and I hope you can help on this. I need to redo my small driveway, cause my landlord is pissed. really! I have some very old Oil stains, and my car has been leaking gas, by the drip (having lots of trouble finding the spot to fix it), but du to this, it has made a fairly big drop in the driveway, holes, stains of gas and oil. what do you recommend I do if I would want to refinish it and make it look as new as possible, (and of course, fix the leak in my tank would help and will be done). Please give me a good professional opinion for a very low budget family. Thanks!
Honestly, the same process should work with cleaning it. If take your car to an auto shop first only to see if they can find the leak, then determine whether you can fix it your self or shell out the money to the mechanics
Don't redo the driveway thats just silly. Any oil stain will come out with dilute Muratic acid. Its sold at Home Depot, Lowes, or a local pool store. Get a 5 gallon bucket, Rubber gloves and rubber boots. Fill the bucket up about 1/4 the way with water. Now slowly and gently pour 2-3 cups of muriatic acid in the bucket. Use a paint stick or something and slowly stir the contents of the bucket. Mark the top edge of the bucket with a permanent marker, make a couple lines. The mark is where the liquid in the bucket will spill out onto the ground. now dump a few cups on the ground and use a long handled brush to brush the mix around. Let sit for 5 minutes after brushing then hose it off. The concrete will look new.
Nice I just recently got my drive done and waiting to seal coat it and seen alot of oil spots from my old Silverado! Alot of work going on I'm building a shop but I just want this shit up
If you were going to pressure wash it with detergent, then why did you use the dish soap and the brush? Isn't that what the pressure washer is used for? You've double worked yourself because, the pressure washer was all you needed.
pressure washer guys rinse, then use degreaser, bleach, tsp, or other chemicals and agitate it with a stiff brush then pressure wash all the time. Water alone doesn't always get tough stains out.
Kind of surprising that he doesn't even use sealer primer over oil spots before sealing it. I would expect that from some of the companies with low standards but not from someone with so much pride. No matter how much he washes those spots, they still have oil in them. Also, you aren't supposed to wash that oil out into the surrounding land. With oil that heavy, you scrape it clean, put down some oil dry and then once you take up the oil dry, you spray it with primer. I only bother mentioning this because of how arrogant this guy has been with his "best sealer company in the world" claims.
Which have all been sarcasm. Also I am curious what you think the oil dry is going to do. You pick it "all" up (get 50% and blow/wash the rest is more like it) and then it goes right into the landfill still polluting the environment. The sad truth is there is no answer.
First what? He first scraped everything he could off. Add water and that movable sludge is now dispensed onto the whole parking lot. You mean after that? He added soap and agitated it. You apply too much water and the soap is diluted and cant do its job of mixing with the oils properly. And then he indeed pressure washed it.
It doesnt get it off, ive tried. A few months ago, our idiot neighbour flushed his diesel tank from his truck and washed all the diesel towards our house now it looks like the road outside our house is permanently stained. Ive tried everything to get it off nothing works.
@@The_Sword3 Thankfully it did come off by itself. But it took a long damn time. And those asshole neighbours finally got evicted this month after trashing that rental property. Good riddens.
I don't know, I think I would have used kitty litter that could be properly disposed of, rather than washing all those hydrocarbons down the street. Would prolly do a better job with less elbow grease too.
And then do what with the contaminated kitty litter? Right into a land fill. LMAO. There is no answer. There is no "proper disposal". At least washing it into the gutter forces the state and your local water plant to actually deal with it.
What exactly do you expect them to do? Whenever it rains that shit is going into the environment anyway. Dont like it, ride a bicycle. Something tells me you are still going to drive a car.
I like the style: "Whatever you do, do it as well as you can." However, those oily wash waters should be vacuumed up and disposed of as a toxic waste. See . 40 CFR § 261.33 . You don't know what is being washed off, and you are not going to have a "Toxic Leach Characteristics" lab screen on each job to prove that ground-run off is "OK". (It isn't.) Friend, you are risking your company if a "claim" is filed. You should buy a vacuum truck, and make sure your competitors do also, as it IS the RIGHT thing to do. It really is.
KFC must be struggling if he's got to go into the cleaning business

Where's the primer you put on the oil stains before the sealer ?
You ever put primer over the stain instead? Some stains I would think are impossible to remove.
I wanna see the result
How do you remove soap that has sunk into a new asphalt driveway like an oil stain :/
So just spray the oil and have it spread out? got it
Dave... bless your heart... gonna send some money for you to get a bigger shirt... Hey from the South
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmaoooooo
What sealer did Dave use? David? What's the name/brand of your sealer + what equipment did you use to spray it, please? Thank you.
He said Gemseal
Use a push and pull brush to widen your edges so you dont have to tip as much, not a curb brush.
We also run %20 water in our sealer but the fly by guys go in and do 50/50
BAHAHA

Where can I buy the sealer from and is it water-basedThanks

I hate that kind of parking lot. it gets so damn hot it literally melts your shoes. real concrete is best
Carnage 50X you must live down south
Yea, that really depends on where you live.
love your vids dave keep it up
Excellent work by Colonel Sanders!

I only cut it 20% doesn't sound not watered down.
Why didn’t you power wash it first
First what? He first scraped everything he could off. Add water and that movable sludge is now dispensed onto the whole parking lot. You mean after that? He added soap and agitated it. You apply too much water and the soap is diluted and cant do its job of mixing with the oils properly. And then he indeed pressure washed it.
funny... cuts before showing any results. I guess it didn't turn out well.
No prep seal on the oil spots? You’re not very good at what you do.
What do you do if its going in a drain?
This video should be titled "how to seal coat a parking lot"
It doesnt get it off, ive tried. A few months ago, our idiot neighbour flushed his diesel tank from his truck and washed all the diesel towards our house now it looks like the road outside our house is permanently stained. Ive tried everything to get it off nothing works.

Como se llama ese líquido negro saludo desde puerto rico
It’s okay..
Seriously Dave....No After shot of the freshly sealed oil stained area???? ...C'mon🤷♂️
Tape the yellow lines ? A blind man can see them thru the sealer.
Not always. Some lines are so faded that you can hardly see them before the sealer is even applied.
Be nice if you could rent a sprayer. Much easier than using squeegee/brush.
I don't know, I think I would have used kitty litter that could be properly disposed of, rather than washing all those hydrocarbons down the street. Would prolly do a better job with less elbow grease too.
That's ok. Let the next generation of snowflakes deal with the hydrocarbons.

Where does all that dirty water go? Back in our water system. Smfh
Looks like you're friend has fords in his fleet.
Hot water pressure washer would of melted away all that oil.
nice job
Why push all that shit into the yard? Don’t y’all know how to properly contain waste?
Can't you just throw asphalt over it and flatten it out?
No because the sealant wont stick to the asphaslt.
How to paint over oil stains so you cant see em no mo
So is there a video on how to remove oil from asphalt? 🤣
You just washed the oil into the bushes? Seriously?
What exactly do you expect them to do?
Whenever it rains that shit is going into the environment anyway. Dont like it, ride a bicycle.
Something tells me you are still going to drive a car.
Jon M they are required to use an oil recovery vacuum system.
Come on guy, you didn't clean the oil off! But the guy probably wasn't willing to spend the money to get the oil off, so you get what you pay for!

Dragging the shove don’t put to much effort
You need a higher pH cleaner than Dawn liquid soap.
what do you recommend? a general driveway cleaner ?
Muriatic acid.
Sell out.
Please reader, Don't dislike the video. Upvote it!
Raghav Saptarsh the video before this has a lot of ads
Most of the last video was just an ad
Zombie Intellect I
I see so many EPA and OSHA violations ?¿
Tom Roberts what’s the OSHA violations? The dish soap is probably an epa.
Asphalt to begin with but what the hell is some more shit added to our soil?
Dawn soap is a hell of a lot better for the environment than many of the other chemicals people use daily.

I would go out of my way to remove all of your tape on you and seal the bare spots at night so you’d have more work on your hands
