Kitty Litter works amazingly well.

its not concrete though?
haha i guess my laziness is coming back to get me..

Its the main ingredient in concrete.... and it doesn't react with oil, so it won't harden soaking up oil. Spread it out, move around with the broom, working in different directions so it gets into all the cracks and grooves (Wait overnight for tough stains), then sweep it up. Result is a driveway that looks like it was poured yesterday.

Seriously people, muriatic acid.

Get a gallon or two from home depot/lowes. Dilute with water in a bucket, throw contents onto concrete, watch it smoke and fizz, rinse with hose. Done.

I have honestly used Cola to remove oil stains before. Get a couple of 2 liter bottles, add to oil stains. Use a bristle brush and gently massage into oil.. add more Cola. Wait 10 mins, spray away with water.

This, I would use a stiff brush with about 2" hairs. Cola then scrub, rinse, repeat. Works well with a power washer. Or you could rent a Heavy duty, diesel-powered steam powerwasher for a day. Then you can clean every other filthy thing you own. We used them on the military vehicles all the time, they remove some serious grime without using soap.

Yaherd there is this stuff you can apply and it will agitate and foam up with the oil. Then you can rinse it down with a water hose. I think its similar to the oil eating algae used in the BP oil spill just in a applicable form.

Yaherd that's what coca cola uses expired syrup for? Cleaning engines of the the trucks.

Yaherd you're annoying?

If I were your dad, I would have disowned you if you left an oil stain that large on my driveway.
