Contact ProSoCo (SureKleen), have a rep come out and he'll be happy to do a test. Their chems are great and you can restore that building to like new again. Though it will cost the owner some bucks.

I just replied to your e-mail about this Mike. You need to look at Diedrich instead of SureKleen. SureKleen is ok for some things, but with restoration work Diedrich is the leader, especially with this kind of brick. Brick restoration is the bulk of what we do and we've never had a problem with Diedrich versus numerous problems with SureKleen products.

That was pretty good. I just checked out the site too, might have to give it a try... 
The correct address is www.diedrichtechnologies.com

Prosoco's SureKleen is great for some things, but in this case it's simply not the best product for this particular job. Yeah Zippo those b & a shots are great, but where is the yellow brick in your picture and how does that help Mike with his yellow brick cleaning job? Diedrich 101 and 101G are both great on black encrustation carbon buildup on yellow brick restoration cleanings. We've got a ton of yellow brick properties here in Pittsburgh with heavy carbon encrustation from the old steel mills and my company cleaned a bunch of them with Diedrich. We've got a bunch more coming up this year to do and we're using Diedrich again. Everything from hi-rise apartment buildings to residential homes.
I'm not trying to bad mouth Prosoco, I just don't think they have the best product for this particular application.

Prosoco has many other products . Sureklean is only recommended for the cleaning of new masonry surfaces to remove excess mortar. Sureklean wouldn't touch this but they do make other chems that will do the job.

My fault sureklean is the name they use for their restoration cleaners just different # I was thinking you were speaking of sureklean detergent 600 which is the masonry cleaner just differences of opinion on products to use thats what makes the world go round but I feel the idea above to gather samples of at least 2 - 4 different products and see which one gives the desired result is a most excellent idea.

Mike, left you a message on another board also. I agree with all comments above - believe both companies have vg products. However, I give the nod to Jim Diedriech when it comes to one-on-one problem - solving assistance. The guy even helped me try to solve a problem last year that did not involve his products.
