heh, you should see the POND in front of my house now...my Oil filter decided to come loose and it drained 4L of week old Mobil1. Its disgusting looking. Kitty litteer workd great, but you can buy a cleaner from crappy tire that apparantly works wonders.

when i spilled a bunch of tranny fluid in my garage at night, i just went to the gas station with a garbage bag and stole a bunch of their spill absorbant.. i think it's just kitty litter too

Simple Green is where its at.

[szw]

do these work even for stains that have been there for years?

lol sounds like my house, perhaps not as bad but i have a condensed puddle. i got a head gasket leak so every week or two i hafta add a litre of fluid :D

Kitty litter, peat moss, sand work well to absorb the crap but doesn't really remove stains that's already dried up.

I heard the CLR Grease Magnet is amazing shit but I can't find it in stores

hmm someone told me that carb cleaner works well on coolant stains..

[Boostn]

Yup Simple Green works great, just spray it on full strength, let it penetrate and wipe off. It has a strong smell to it though.

yea get some foam engine degreaser and let it sit on your stains for a good while then rinse off with hose... always worked for me, and if all else fails try renting a pressure washer

[air_mikey]

you can use laundry detergent but you gotta scrub a bit. it worked for me.

Landury/DishSoap works ....

I also heard pouring some coke on there works too...

But you will need some of that scrubbing action...
