silicone greece off block paving
 

Hi guys as titled above sprayed and spilt some silicone greece onto out block paving now its seems to be permanently blended into the block paving. Tried Thompson drive cleaner fluid, break cleaner with a wire brush but just makes the paving block go white. a local mechanic gave me some luminous yellow fluid with a lemon smell with some scolding hot water which improved it a bit but it wont bloody lift :wall:

What have people used on here to remove it off their block paving?

Thanks

pics of drive would help massively

cool two secs

Try scraping it off with a wallpaper scraper thingy?

get the hose out and some cheap wash&wax (yup the car wash stuff), and go to town on it, proper scrub the stuff in there, give it a min or too and rinse it off, usually comes out after a few goes, if not, might have to borrow a pressure washer or something

Thanks for the help mate will give that a try this stuff is like a tattoo permanently stained. if that fails is their any serious heavy duty paving cleaner?

no problem mate, afaik, not really, although i very much expect to be proved wrong, it is murder to get off, my driveway is currently stained, but the rain has been slowly washing it off, when my xsara decided to dump +1 litre on it before i could only get it out with the jetwash, that one was a right bathplug.

Just replace the stained bricks if a cleaner doesn't work.

we have already swapped around the bad bricks with the good lol. will try some stuff from halfords

and a jet wash

take the bricks out & turn them upside down?

hmmm never thought about that will do it if all else fails will let you all know how i got on :y:

go go greece lightening!

Blowtorch, seriously.

Wire brush on electric drill,just don't go to mad at it.

Block Paviers are single faced

Damn I thought I was being super smarts

Got enough grease left to cover the rest?

ok got it off with break cleaner and dabbing with a cloth magic stuff that it!

Thanks all

Mine usually clear themselves with the rain and wear from car tyres etc on them.

This....works on most oil and grease! :y:

Old coke works on a lot of stains

3,2,1...... Fire

I don't have a problem with greeks, it's normally the Irish that I can't get off my drive. I'll try a blow torch next time.

Thanks for the help.

Trying to sell you "Dags" and moody gold?

Telling me that my gravel ain't up to scratch and that I need some tarmac.
