I oxy encapped it with a grey pad, tried usr after, presprayed with an acid rinse at 4:1, and then just prescrubbed with
harvard's grime release, then post bonneted with the oxy encap. And no, I didn't do that all in one spot. I experimented in different areas to see what the best result would be. The Grime Release Pro with scrubbing had the best results. I spoke to Hassan yesterday at
TCS's customer day, and he thought it might be iron deposits wicking up from the metal rods rusting from the moisture in the foundation. He suggested that, so I took that route.
Either way, it still looks like crap. And whoever thought encapping would help is too lazy to swing a wand and too cheap to buy a truck mount. I'm not convinced that ecapsulation is worth investing in. I don't care how many pics are posted. Every time I try it, I fail miserably. I'm glad I have a truck mount to clean up after it.
