Flat Work Blending.

Ok, so you have a parking lot or even a driveway, the clients don't want to pay to have the whole thing closely swept (and you don't want to do it either) all they want is for the oily areas to be removed, and the rest of the concrete rinsed off. So how to you remove those areas without making that area "stand out" with a different, cleaner look than the rest of the driveway / parking lot ? what are the methods you guys use ?

All I can say is you are asking for more trouble than it is worth. You say "close sweep" and I have seen you say it a few times before. Buy a surface cleaner and be done with "close sweeps".

Should you clean a small area, it will obviously be cleaner and you will still spend extra time rinsing the areas that received all the run off from your little area. That is unless you are recovering the dirty run off right away, and with not owing a surface cleaner, I do not feel you are recovering anything either.

My bottom line, do the whole job or do not do it at all.

Itswillist,

Tell Autozone to take a hike! lol
Only kidding
I concur with the reply above -- all or nothing.
Otherwise, it looks like poop and has your reputation all over it.

Oily spots close to the building/sidewalk, we do the walk and then 1/2 of the parking spaces right next to the sidewalk. This gets the oil spots along with part of the pavement. Customers see a clean area from about where they are getting out of their car to the building and of course the sidewalk.

We've been doing this stop for over 5 years and have never had a problem.
