[johnakay]

as some of you know. I used a shot blaster etc.
and seeing that it is iron of some sort it has left a lot of rust stains alove my drive and path.
what is the best solution that will remove it?
I've used a pressure washer but no joy.

If that doesn't work try Oxalic Acid crystals dissolved in warm water.

I have used sulphuric acid from my sons agricultural stock,Put it in a spray bottle and misted it over where i had been grinding on my drive, seems to work for ages, gets reactivated every time it gets wet with rain,All usual safety precautions taken, Battery acid would do just as well I would imagine(also shifts oil stains.)

Try some iron-x https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=i...nnel=fflb&gws_rd=cr&ei=DKAkUtGWN4OZhQfZxYD4BA
It's a wheel cleaner and it's specific purpose is to lift and neutralise iron particles from brake discs.
It's an incredible product for cleaning wheels.
Might well do what you want without being too nasty.
