Stained Driveway

K guys , brother in law has been staying with us. He is on heart transplant list , so I am in for long haul. His car drips oil . My driveway is now stained. I put his car in the shop and agreed to pay for the fix. Ok, question is there anything I can use to get rid of stain?

Try Easy Off aerosol oven cleaner. Spray it on heavy, let it foam up and soak for a while. Not a sure thing, but works pretty good. Purple power degreaser will lighten it up some too. If nothing works, just put straight dawn dish soap and leave it for a couple days, then scrub it off. Repeating any of that will probably eventually make it less and less noticeable.
* go jo hand cleaner with a small wire brush can be somewhat effective too.

Pour about 2 cups of laquer thinner on it. Get U some oil dry. Cover the puddle of thinner with the oil dry. Put on some crappy shoes an crush the oil dry into the concrete. Use a "twisting motion" (hold your heels up and twist). Do this until you see white concrete underneath. Rinse and let dry.

Chomp "Pull it Out" concrete stain remover. Worked pretty well for me.

Will this hurt my concrete. Sounds like a brutal soap.

Apply kitty litter to oil spot. Get a 2x4 and rub the hell out of it. Pulverize the kitty litter to dust. Bam, oil stain is gone.
