Bank drive-thrus can be nice accounts, especially if you can get them on maintenance contracts. I have had good success with a combination of techniques using regular nozzles (15 degree is my favorite for concrete), turbo tips, and a concrete cleaning machine. My favorite concrete cleaning chemical has a potassium hydroxide base and is manufactured/shipped out of Toledo, OH in a liquid form for $5.99 a gallon based on a minimum purchase of 55 gallons (might be a little costly shipping to MO).

Good Luck !

Most concrete cleaners are used to clean petroleum based stains. Asphalt is a petroleum based product so these cleaners will break them down. Fine for the concrete...not the asphalt.
