Ollieh17 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 My drives covered in it. It eventually wears away naturally. I have tried mutliple driveway cleaners and they just seem to spread it more than anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yaristurbo Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Doesn't fizzy coke work? Or theres driveway cleaner Edited October 3, 2014 by yaristurbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza1996 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Yeh I heard something about fizzy coke working might have to give it ago Yeah I would just leave it but im renting and hoping to move into a bigger place at the end of this year so need to get rid of it to get my deposit back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 How big is the patch? Most driveways cleaners will be shit. Depending on what type of drive you have I'd go for thick bleach as its readily available Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza1996 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Its not too extreme Ill take a picture tomz in the daytime but I swear the Cat litter has made it look worse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Ha cat litters an interesting choice the only thing out the blue I'd say would be like vinegar for the acidity on the stone and a good scrub. Other than that it would be a good degreaser or de-tar product. Worste case strong bleach but depending in drive type could damage the stone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Swarfega and a good hard bristled brush (not metal).. Works a treat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

toyotag2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 i used concrete cleaner on my mum and dads drive and it workked a treat mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrozenJakalope Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Bio washing powder, spread it out over the oil and leave it. It'll absorb a boatload of it and get rinsed off next time it rains Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza1996 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Im seeing what the bad will do to it atm trying to do a cheap option aha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo Goose Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I used gunk engine degreaser, poored it on area, left it a while then scrubbed it with a wire brush. Then soaked up with cat litter, worked well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 you want a good detergent and some elbow grease essentially. swarfega is a pretty good detergent, or some form of mr muscle etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yoshimitsu666 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hypochlorite, not sure that's the correct spelling but its for that purpose, buy a carton of it cheap from most hardware places but be careful its very dangerous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kavan-k Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I know as soon as oil spills, sand is the answer, not sure when it dries tho :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bussey Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Red paint works wonders on oil spills Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chops Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 drain cleaner would probably work, but its some violent shit so be careful lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vturbo Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Apparently washing up liquid and a good scrub works Quote Link to post Share on other sites
