    Have used 'Damp Rid' crystals in the garage with great results. Leave over night and clean up the next day. Don't know how it works but it does!

    VMCC use 'Flour of Lime'. RD1 stock it. Cowpoos can explain its normal use I'd think.

    Of all the options out there the choice made for HD seems a bit odd. Its very gritty which 'sits' on the surface and does require the marshalls to brush it completly away (or use the blower). other compounds I've come across brush 'into' the surface. Anything left over after the clean up on the surface can be dodgy to ride over and tiny ball bearings have got to be the worst.

    I said in another thread I went round in the pace car during the clean up (right place right time) deliberatley running over the stuff used to soak up the oil, if the outside wheels were on the stuff even the car moved around (not so bad with the inside wheels on it). I dont understand why a compound such as this is used on such a smooth surface.

    I believe that's what they might call it in the back paddock, but we tend to be a little more sophisticated in Latteland/Welly.
