Is there any tricks or tips to clean Oil from my driveway? It was there before we moved in, but my wifes car was leaking too. Everytime it rans the oil tends to run down the driveway, anyway to get rid of it?

Thanks
Matt

If it is reather fresh, laundry detergent powder and a stiff bristled broom (like a wide floor broom, etc) to scrub until the suds are black will remove most of it. Don't add ANY WATER until you are DONE and HAPPY with the final outcome.

if its OLD.. pressure spraying would be the way to go, I would think.

grease lighting should take it off then just hit it with a hose.

My driveway is on a slight hill so it's pretty easy to rinse it off, but I've had good luck with Simple Green on fresh oil, brake fluid and gas. (I guess I should stop spilling...)

i use that grease lighting to take off tar from the car then hit it with the purple clay bar. that stuff works for every thing. i use it on my rims aswell for brake dust.
