Hi does anyone have a suggestion for cleaning forklift tyre marks from a warehouse floor. Also need advice on how to remove stains under windows on aluminium cladding

A contractor of mine was attempting to clean aluminum siding on a house. He tried several different cleaning agents with his pressure washer to no avail. It was more than dirt. I believe it was oxidation like you see on aluminum gutters. I took Art's advise and tried Purple Power from Walmart. I spraye...

It should be noted this wasn't his first fall as he cracked a few ribs just a few months back If we learned anything from his death its we should harness up when going up on any roof. Any fall can cause serious injury or death. I belie...
