Once motor oil has soaked into bare concrete, it's there forever. Degreasers can lift the surface stain but the oil saturates deep into the porous slab — and it'll keep bleeding back to the surface (and contaminating any coating you try to apply) until the slab is properly treated.

Common Causes
1. Old hydraulic, transmission, and engine oil drips 2. Brake fluid (most aggressive — softens many coatings) 3. Power steering fluid 4. Bar oil from chainsaws and yard equipment
Why It Matters
1. Oil-contaminated concrete fails coating bond tests 2. Constant slipping hazard from fresh surface oil 3. Permanent dark patches reduce home value
Our Professional Solution
Industrial degreaser scrub, dwell, and pressure rinse to lift surface oil.
Diamond grind to physically remove the contaminated top 1/16" of concrete.
Deep stains: torch burn-out and oil-blocking epoxy primer.
Full flake or metallic coating system to permanently cover any residual staining.
Why Professional Coating Beats Every Alternative
