i dunno, a few months old. i was scrubbing and rubbing and nothing. seriously i need a sandblaster or acid!

I would recomend trying a product cald TSP. you can get it at rona and it worked well for me.. brus it in to the stains and let it sit and then presure wash it off.

Simple green has always worked for me, mind you I always clean the stain within a few hours.

coke?

Haha.. I was gonna say "try Coke". I've used gasoline before too with good results. With gas, pour some onto the stain and let it sit for a few minutes, then go back and scrub it with a steel brush and it works pretty good.

+2 for simple green.

If not that try something water soluble with a stronger solvent lustersheen hand cleaner maybe?

I have used powered detergent like tide, just wet the stain down and cover it with the detergent and let it sit for a couple hours and then wash it off.
