Q: Can I use residue remover on limestone?
A: Yes, the residue remover can be used on limestone paving
Q: I have used colour enhancer on black basalt coping on a swimming pool. Results are OK but there are white residue stains due to over application. Can this be removed with the residue remover product? Thanks
A: The residue remover can be diluted and used to remove whiteness caused by over application of natural stone colour enhancer.
Q: I have applied the porcelain sealer in excess and now unfortunately have excess white residue marks. How would you suggest I can remove these please?
A: To remove excess porcelain sealer you would need to use the residue remover.
I had used the ultimate enhancer product last year but had put to much on. Initially it looked great but within a few months my Indian sandstone took on a cloudy dull look. No matter how much pressure washing it still looked bad. Applied this residue remover doing a slab at a time and used a scrubbing brush to work it into the stone and after leaving for 10 minutes used the K6 karcher to clean the product off. The result is the slabs now look like new. I had to do a small area of 5 or 6 slabs at a time as the sun was drying it out pretty quickly so at this point I am about half way done. Did not dilute the product as my slabs where pretty bad and I may have to order another 5 litres to get the job done properly. I think I will just put on one coat of the ultimate colour enhancer this time so that I do not have to go through all this again. It was entirely my own fault putting to much on. More is not always best. Very quick delivery time. I always use Smartseal as their products actually work if you apply them properly and they have the best customer service I have come across.
Brilliant!
Very good product clean my paving up in no time would definitely use it again
