    I love seeing your Ford van! I had one in the late 60's and loved the "3 on the tree" manual transmission! I miss the driver position and working that shifter! Thank you for the cleaning tip.

      I still have 3 vehicles with 3 speeds on the column. My Van, my 1956 F100 has a 3 speed overdrive and NY 1966 F100 has a 3 speed, soon to have a 3 speed overdrive too. My wife likes the trucks as they gave a bench seat and a flatter floor and she can sit in the center beside me, you can't do that in any other rig.

      Seriously. I was like, "Man, I don't have one TENTH his skill. There's always that little remnant that just keeps eluding the shovel till you just don't care anymore."

    AWESOME!!!!!!! Never though to use carb cleaner and the kitty litter is a great way instead of washing this chemical down the driveway with the hose and risking burning the grass and polluting. Many thanks. Never thought I would get excited about cleaning the garage floor.

    Awesome Glenn!!! I just tried it after spending half an hour looking at other "solutions". It is FRIGGEN' AWESOME!!! Total cost was less than $3.00 and it took less than 2 minutes from start to finish!!! Now I have 3 clean white spots in my garage that are cleaner than the rest of the garage, lol. Thanks again...

      Shit will happen soo many times. I just did my 20th + oil change and accidentally knocked off the funnel and the bug jug of old oil tipped over. Huge mess. Even trying to clean rhis mess up for 2 days with different techniques. I've heard ofnusing brake cleaner and cat litter but never tried it. Guess I'll give it a go

    • @GlennsSpeedShop
      @GlennsSpeedShop  Před 4 měsíci +1

      It works good for standing oil, maybe workes a little for stains the only way to get oil out deep into the concrete will he heat, steam, and detergent. .
      Good Luck

      Pavers, are pores so it may leave the Stain but will get all the surface oil off.

    • @GlennsSpeedShop
      @GlennsSpeedShop  Před 4 lety +6

      Yes it will work, but not nearly as fast. You will need to use much more spray, then broom it into the stain the cover it with cat litter or fresh sweep and let it absorb the liquid for 10 to 15 min.

      @GlennsSpeedShop  Před 2 lety +1

      I have not done a video on removing oil stains from concrete. My 80 year old barn would be a challah ge of a lifetime if I were to embark on a journey to remove all the oil stains it has seen for nearly a century. However the surface is safe to walk on as all the oil has been removed. Good luck in your quest to remove oil stains, I would rather start in on another project then spend time trying to keep my shop floor stain free.
