Have to state a vested interest, but this will do it.

That's a great advert :lol:

I can just see the bacteria munching through it. I wonder how they enjoy LHM?

On my driveway they'd be suffering obesity problems very soon....

Have your mob any association with the bacteria gobbling up that quarry full of oil on Jersey or Guernsey?
That's impressive.

I'm not sure if an FCF endorsement of an oil removal product is good for a marque!

However, I am keen to hear if any FCF members other than Mr Chemex have tried this stuff. Presumably it's non-hazardous in the post.

a suggestion I had for my dad, after years of us both leaving many oil stains on his tarmac drive, was to jet wash it as best as we could, and then repaint the drive in a black driveway paint..
dont know if it would have given the 'new look' to be honest..
