It Lifts The Oil Out Rather Than Pushing It Around Most degreasers emulsify a surface stain and drive the rest deeper into the paver. Oil Extractor is built to dissolve, encapsulate and then remove petroleum and food based oil, which is why it works on the stain that has been sitting under a parked car for two summers rather than just the fresh drip. Ready to use Do not dilute 25 to 60 Sq ft per quart Encapsulates Dissolves then lifts out Phosphate free Biodegradable Why Oil Is Its Own ProblemOil is not a surface stain. It wicks down into the pores of the paver and keeps bleeding back up after you have washed the top. That is why a general cleaner appears to work and then the shadow returns a week later. This product is formulated to bring the oil back out of the pore structure instead. Petroleum and food based oil and grease. Motor oil, hydraulic fluid, cooking grease. Encapsulating action. Dissolves the oil, wraps it, then releases it from the surface. Alkaline. Neutralizes acid based detergents and cleaners used previously. Clean Rinse Technology. Residue pressure washes away. Safe on sealed surfaces. With proper dwell time, so a sealed driveway is not automatically off limits. Coverage, And It Is Not DilutedThis one is ready to use. Diluting it is the single most common way to make it stop working. Dilution None, ready to use as supplied Coverage 25 to 60 sq ft per quart, single treatment Repeat applications Deep or old staining usually needs more than one Variables Surface porosity, texture, stain severity and age Approved Surfaces Concrete and clay pavers, stamped concrete Masonry, retaining wall blocks and concrete walls Natural and manufactured stone, exposed aggregate Tile, terrazzo and stucco Sealed surfaces, with proper dwell time Where To Be Careful, Straight From SEK Not approved for asphalt. Asphalt is petroleum based, so an oil dissolver is the wrong idea. Wet cast pavers. Use caution on sensitive surfaces. Always test first. Confirm the surface and the dwell time before treating the whole stain. Misuse can damage sealers. Follow the dwell time rather than leaving it to sit indefinitely.
