Oil Stains

[cobra2049]

Hello again fellow friends of the GAOC,

Workin on my car over the past few months, my leaking oil pan gasket has stained my friends driveway.

All I wanna know is, what can I do to make the stains better?
I feel really bad!

Thanks

Brake parts cleaner works well at the shop, but I dont know how well it would work on a drive way. Try to get some really strong industrial soap and start scrubbin.

Cat litter helps. Don't use gas if it's black top.
??? Not sure.

I've heard of a couple different ways of doing this.

first pour kitty litter or some type of absorbing powder on the stain and grind it into the dirveway where the stain is with a chunk of wood.

let it absorb then sweep it up. Next you can either pour coke on the stain and let it sit for a while (at least 30 mins) and scrub / hose down, or try using dawn dish washing liquid and scrubing it with a broom and hosing it down.

on a side note
Believe it or not, if you mix coke with ketchup it becomes so corrosive it can eat the paint off of a car on a hot sunny day :eek:
