Hey folks,
Finally have gotten my oil leakers/ parts car away from the parental's compound. However now their once former pretty looking driveway is oil stained. Anybody have a idea how to get some of those deeper stains out?

Laundry detergent and elbow grease, or an industrial cleaner like Citra-Clean.

trying some citrus cleaner with damp newspaper with a black garbage bag over it.

urine, and lots of it.

the trace amounts of amonia will burn the oil stains out.

Silas I have no idea where to find this Urine. Can you help me? I can only steal so many hospital bedpans and catheters by myself.

I take it this is on concrete? Try using some Coke.

Muriatic acid works on concrete. Your local paint store usually has it.

At work we use this stuff called \"bold\" very toxic. It is used at the gas pumps when they are filling up the transit buses when there is spillage. All you do is pour some on the ground and use a old broom to mix it in then hose it off.

I AGRREE Muratic acid is what brick layers use to clean blocks etc. Home Depot sells a product a little more enviro friendly called concrete etcher. Use either with caution.

I would give the Coke a try before spending a bunch of money on Muratic acid. I used to work at a garage (almost 30 years ago) that's what we used. Soak it down, let it sit for an hour soak it down again and scrub with a stiff broom. Then you can just spray it down the storm drain. No harm done like the acid (at least not much). Well, maybe if the fish go to the dentist

Three letters, C L R. That stuff will eat the oil out of asphalt.

This is expensive but gasoline works to get oil stains off of concrete, that's how i cleaned the shop i work in when it was blessed with a VW oil stain.
