Driveway oil stains?
 
I was changing my diff fluid last week and got some gear oil spilled on concrete. With motor oil, I can just use hand cleaner, scrub a little, and hose it off. But this stuff is hard to remove. Any product suggestions???

pick up a good grade of oil dri (there are a couple versions) and with an old pair of shoes grind it into the concrete and let it sit a couple of days. Then sweep it up. (not kitty litter)

They sell this at auto parts stores? I'll have to go have a look see. Thanks!

A spray can of engine degreaser was my best friend with a concrete driveway.

^^^ If you can find an old can of it, yeah. But that new stuff they make is weak sauce. I found some in the back of the garage one time with about half the old label on it and holy shit! I wish I could get some more of that!

^^^Yea yea, I know. I had a piece of plywood sitting under the diff, but the fluid just ran amuck past that as I overfilled :(
