Orangetang Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 My Pathfinder leaked oil on the driveway, and I want to try to get it out. I don't have a pressure washer, but I have heard soda pop, acetone and stuff like that works... How about a good commercial product that you can srub in and rinse away or sweep up?

DavefromOZ Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 In the past I have spread kitty litter on a fresh oil stain with some success, it will draw a fair amount of oil out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Simple Green, and an old broom. Soak, scrub, rinse... repeat. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Engine degreaser if it's old will get a good bit, just let it sit on the stain for awhile and you have to repeat a couple times. Or if fresh as DavefromOZ said cat litter will do wonders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSlowReliable Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Idk if this will help, but recently i repainted my tire carrier, and while sis was backing out pathy, she ran over spray can, and it sprayed all over driveway, so this is what i did Used Denature Alcohol all over it (prly about half a can) Orange oven cleaner paint thinner pb blaster (this worked wonders) hose Got it all out, even the soaked stuff with some scrubbing from broom... Otherwise, try the kitty litter, we have been using that for years and it works pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamzan Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 What I did was use simple green like B said. Then I re sealed the whole driveway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 You can get concrete cleaner or bleach at Home Depot or Lowes. Purple Power or Castrol Super Clean does a fair job as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zibi Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I just put a high concentrate mix of oxyclean on it and scrubbed a bit and it seemed to get it all out fine, but that was asphalt not concrete. My Mom says she has some stuff but I didn't ask what it is called because I didn't need to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morningwould Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 My pressure washer has a hose to mix detergent with the spray. I hook up some simple green and pressure wash it. I do this at least 2 times a year on my concrete driveway. Always gets the stains out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90seven Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I was at Autozone and there was a person looking for cans of brake cleaner to clean his driveway. I have never tried this, but it wouldn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Use the kitty litter, with one little tweak. Put in on the spot you want to clean, get a chunk of 2x4, put the 2x4 on the kittle litter, step on the 2x4 and grind the litter into the spot for a few seconds. Clean up with a broom.
