oil on block paving

[captainkirky]

hi all does anyone know of anything which will remove oil stains from my block paving ? before i have to chop them out and hire a whacker plate to put new ones in

You may not have total success, as block pavers are porous and it is the burnt carbon in the oil that stains, but I have used this product from Gunk - with some success.

Trouble is that you end up with a few very clean blocks which stand out more than the stains did and have to do the bloomin' lot to make it all match again!!
