Well i searched some but came up short. Anybody have any tips or secrets on getting oil off a concrete driveway. Or at least make it look better
Yeah i'd like to know too!
I just used a power-washer, but it still took like an hour just to make it look halfway decent.
Engine shampoo works awesome. Not sure how safe/legal it is to just wash down the drain but I guess if its not toxic its ok
my buddy used that muriatic acid/pool cleaner stuff. that seems to work pretty well.

eh, oil in the driveway means you're a REAL man that works on his car!! haha, i've always used brake cleaner, but it only makes it look a little better.
GO PATS!!!
I have had good result with Simple Green and a toothbrush. I have used oven cleaner in the past, with good results, but I have not tried that lately.
laundry detergent works too....but you have to scrub your butt off.....
If u want to go cheap pour some normal bleach like you would use washing clothing.Just pour it on and let it sit for about ten minutes and then rinse,normally it will remove any and I mean any thing off concrete as far as stains.A pressure washer is the best route if u have one,but if u do not do the above it's very effective.
the purple stuff works wonders... we use it at my work, but we have it in a 200+Litre drum lol. i love the stuff.
spray, scrub a little with a broom or something, then wash off.
its strong, will sting your hands good if you have open cuts / nicks.
Injection is nice but id rather be BLOWN!
Pour gasoline (or oil solvent of choice) on the spot, cover with kitty litter over night, and sweep up.
Grease lightning has worked best for me, spray and it rises up in the foam after letting it sit for a bit, then rinse a couple times has got some real tough oil stains out, diluted for anything else works wonders also.

Yep. I do the same thing with bleach or liquid detergent if I don't have a can of gas handy. Makes a nice thick goo that really gets into the stain to break down the oil.
