Need chemical info for dummies...

[Dixiedrifter]

I am very new to the business and need some real world info on chemicals and suppliers. I have the possibility of landing several commercial accounts in the next week with the possibility of 3-5 locations each.

I NEED to know some of some darn good concrete cleaning products, sources to obtain them, and info how to use them.

I'm going for gas stations and restaraunt parking lots, and need to remove oil stains and general dirtyness.

My goal pull up, do some demos and have the concrete coming out looking SUPER the first time. Quite frankly I want to make a excellent first inpression and DON'T want to screw up.

Now I know I could root around using the search button for a couple hours reading, and perhaps find a few obscure references to suppliers and perhaps half a recipe for something, but it would be a heck of a lot easier on me if someone would take 5 minutes and spell it out in black and white.

I need to know the source and how to use:

1. A good degreaser

2. A good concrete soap

3. Whether to use some sort of chlorinated stuff for brightening or preferably citric acid.

Thanks in advance.

Also, to get responses from vendors themselves, put a post like this down in our distributors section. Within that section, the vendors themselves can openly discuss their own products. Up here is limited to other contractors answering your questions.

Good luck!
