You want oxalic acid.

Hey Jason,

I agree, clean the mildew first by soft washing with SH and Green Wash then rinse, rinse, rinse. After that get the rust off with oxhalic acid.

Will the SH etch the stone? And I looked for the green wash recently but couldn't find it on Delux's website. Any ideas?

Doug Rucker · UAMCC Officer

No, the SH will not harm the stone. Delco sight has changed to powerwash.com. Just call them if you want to order Jason. You may be overthinking this a bit, but that's the way you are and that's ok. Just Take the advice of these professionals and go get that job. CAll me if you need too.

+3 on ox acid. Works great on concrete. I sometimes use it on large planters that have small cracks and little stains from the minerals seeping out. The ladies love it. Also for grills, ornamental art work, metal chairs or anything that leaves rust stains. Sometimes it will take a coule of shots but fades with time. Also brightens fences and decks.

best of luck

if your going to use OX, let it dwell. Vertical surfaces are more difficult, cause the product won't stay there long enough. Another Phenem product is OneRestore from Eachochem. They will also give you tons of tech support! Love them guys @ EachioChem!

I started using BARC from F9 restoration a few weeks back. Love the stuff and won;t harm plants.

That is impressive Doug. You should bring some to Softwashapolooza so the pros can take some home cash and carry.

I'd like to have some shipped out to you or the hotel where the event is going to be. This way it'll be there for demos and to sell when I get there.

Sure Craig.
