Lynn- spent four hours on a small area of my floor, with the Zep citrus cleaner and then the Zep purple degreaser, and still I’m not having much success getting these oil stains out. Did you have any luck with the microbial cleaner?

I had a security door replaced, had the inside walls pressure washed, and have been working on the floors every free moment I can get away. SLOW progress….

Yeah, I have had no luck getting the oil stains out of my concrete. Even using acetone leaves a dark spot. I have some HC microbial stuff on the way.

Sorry to hear that Tony. Part of the problem is that the oil wicks into the grain structure of the cement so therefore you need a something to get in and remove the oil and then the left over carbon deposits. If you cant live with that then you are looking at light surface grinding, acid etch, and finally an epoxy coating.

Tony, rent a bush hammer and try a sample area where the staining is at it worse. You can go to any depth to see where the staining/saturation ends. As mentioned before, the concrete is porous and most likely soaked in pretty good. If this bush hammering becomes an option, you can rent a scabbler (does a larger area at a time) and do the entire floor and then skim coat it with an epoxy. Good luck.

OK, Tony, time for an update. Been wondering where you are at with this a for a while now. Hopefully, you have done something with the floor and are now building either of your Camaros...

I decided I'm going to live with the floor as-is. I've been continuing to degrease it and it looks a little better. Replaced one of the overhead heaters that had a cracked heat exchanger, moved my lathe and mill where I wanted them, sorted out some electrical stuff and bought a decent blasting cabinet. It's functional enough now - just need a duplicate of every tool I have at home!
