tory gets sticky there. Not sure who did it. I had an Amazon Delivery through the USPS, my normal USPS and a UPS Driver deliver sh!t on the same day.

Postmaster swears it wasn't her and she actually delivered the mail. I reached out to Amazon and they told me they would contact me back by phone within 24 hours, which it is rapidly approaching that time.

We shall see.


Simply can't imagine caring this much about an oil spot on a driveway.

Brake cleaner and an oil absorbent pad to sop it up would work. Followed by pressure washing it.

Pour Coke on the stain and let it sit overnight, then use a good mix of hot water and Dawn soap in a bucket and scrub it up.

Go to the hardware or home dept. There are products that do a very good job. Pour it on and sweep off in a few hours after it dries into a powder.

Won't remove oil stains. OP, home depot sells an oil stain remover that works fairly well.

I made a weed killer using vinegar, Epsom salt and dish liquid. It worked well the weeds, but also bleached out the concrete.

That's not oil. That's my jizz your wife spit out after pounding her face in your driveway the other day.

cat litter on the stain until it dries.

Oil stain remover from Auto-zone

scrub it in with an old brush

reapply

hose off, it should be clean as new.

You can also pressure wash.

You have spent more time on this forum about this and calling people than it takes to clean the spill.

I hope your vehicle gets a rear seal leak and you have to deal with oil spots.
Never heard anyone so anal about this. Though delivery and service trucks generally don't park in driveways for this reason.

The lack of oil under my CJ7 means I need to add a quart. The spots of oil it leaves in a trail down my driveway to the garage makes me happy and reminds me that I own the last of the real Jeeps.
