Terminator-HSD Concrete Oil Stain Remover Eco-Friendly Bio-Remediates and Removes Oil & Grease Stains on Concrete and Asphalt Driveways, Garages, Pavers, Patios, Parking Lots and Streets(2 LB)

I can't say enough good things about Terminator-HSD. A couple of years ago I had a 2003 BMW X5 that needed an oil change. For those of you who are familiar with this vehicle, it requires 8 quarts of fully synthetic oil. It took about 45 minutes to do the job in my driveway. After finishing, I went inside the house and cleaned up. Shortly thereafter there was a knock on my front door by one of my neighbors. He pointed to the driveway and the street and said I think your car has a problem. I sure did. Upon closer inspection I determined that hand tightening the oil filter wasn't enough. All the 8 quarts of oil had leaked out! I did my best to mop up what I could with towels and anything else I could find. All down my driveway and into the street was this huge oil stain. I tried about every product I could find over the next couple of days to clean it up to no avail. I almost gave up until I found a video on YouTube showing Terminator-HSD in action. The title was "Terminator HSD Concrete Cleaner Oil Stain Remover." It looked pretty good so I ordered it on Amazon. Given the size of the stain I ordered 3 - 2 pound containers of the product. Until it arrived I noticed people driving by house gawking and laughing at my driveway. Before the product arrived I received a phone call from the company that manufacturers the product. I kid you not! They were calling to let me know there were there to help if i needed it. The product arrived and I couldn't wait to get started. I read the instructions and went to work. Basically you lightly dust the oil stain and brush it in and around until fully covered. That's it. In a few days, I began to see the stain get smaller, and smaller and finally gone. Given the size of my stain I think it took about 2 weeks to completely get rid of the ugly stain. Folks i give you my word, this product is awesome and works as advertised!

I had/have some sort of combination of an oil and wax stain on a limestone mantel (very thick--might have been a wax candle or scent melt, might have been lamp oil) that additionally hadn't been cleaned in 50+ years. I bought 3 products for grease/oil stain removal on stone. limestone is very porous and the stain was thick. The other cleaners + a metal brush + elbow grease did a good job when the stain was on or near the surface. This did an excellent job penetrating below. At first I tried the "dampening every once in awhile" technique but was very disappointed. Then, I left a damp sponge on top of the treated stain. That was the ticket! Makes sense that keeping the bacteria wet would allow it to be continuously active. The result was that the stone in that area was much cleaner and lighter.The shadow was still there but my visit was coming to an end so I put off another treatment for another visit. I experimented with a steam cleaner to see how it worked on that area and the rest of the mantel. The area with the faded stain behaved differently. It took on a whitish hue and dried much faster. I was worried for a quick minute that I hadn't read the label correctly and it had something in it that had etched the surface. Nope, no etching. I suspect that there is still a fine coating of waxy oil in the pores. like I say, another application for another time. I'm going to try doing the whole mantel at once and keeping it wet to see how it works on dirt and grime. The only other cleaner that worked markedly well on grime was ammonia based and had 'amines' in it. It worked better than ammonia alone and not as well with ammonia combined with an enzymatic pet stain remover. It helped a lot on the above surface stain.

I have a very leaky Jeep Liberty CRD (2.8L Turbo Diesel). And so I have many a dark and light stain from oil and diesel all over my drive way. I also seem to have a very un happy HOA when it comes to said drive way. They wanted me to have it clean or they would charge. I went with this stuff thanks to its reviews. And, thrilled. Had to get a pressure washer to clear the top layer of oil and such. Then was just a matter of sprinkling this on and sweeping it, and re wetting. For my small drive way, the 3 pounds might have been a bit much as I have not even made a dent in the bottle. But will be handy to have. 3 weeks later, and there is a very noticeable difference in the stains. This stuff is definitely a patience thing. But does work. It's pulling some pretty deep dark stuff out. I do put a fresh sprinkle on once a week, and re wet once every other day. I live in Salt Lake so pretty dry and hot right now. But, a little bit of effort to have it actually remove the stain and getting concrete looking back to good looking, worth it.

Okay, it did pull a lot of the oil stains uip but left a light colored powder stain in it's place. It will not remove all traces of an oil stain as the signs of stains still remain after 2 applications of the powder. If you have a large stain you'll probably use the entire container on it, which can be expensive if you need more. If I weren't selling my home and leaving I would have next purchased an industrial oil mitigator to do a more thorough job without leaving this light colored powder stain in the oil stains place. Felt like I was putting beige baby powder on the oil stain.

This seemed a lot of money for so little product, but follow the instructions to the letter and keeping it "misted " with water and it really did work after a pernicious indoor heating oil leak. Only used about 1/3rd of the container. Smell now gone, so pleased with the purchase.

I tried this "living" product on 4 different concrete suraces of varying ages to remove stains. Not a single stain was affected in any way. I followed the directions carefuly and conferred with my wife who assured me I had finally done something right. But alas...no results. A lot of money for zero value. DONT DO IT

I had a large oil stain that was pretty fresh but had been dropped on for about a month. Shook a small amount of product on the stain and wet it everyday lightly. Month later perfectly clean floor.

A very handy product that really works for removing Engine Oil Marks

I was skeptical, when seeing the photos on the ad. But when I used on my concrete at my condo parking spot, where my car made a large mess. It pulled 98% of it up, incredible. I am sure if I could rinse the cement it would be amazing. I will keep this in my back pocket when needed.
