    Default Any products to clean oil and coolant off driveway??

    Ripped out my engine and we got a bit of coolant on the driveway which is not a big issue. But my girlfriend's car is leaking some oil and it left 2 big spots on the driveway. Anything out there to clean this. It's getting stained this summer but we don't want to stain over the spills...Any products to clean or should I just pressure wash the suckers???

    Brake clean
    Someday we may need to activate the halo structure off Deerfoot and destroy the North East.

    Brake clean... but I am certain the environmentalist wont like that.

    There is this orange can... orange citrus? something equivalent to brakeclean, but probably more pricey. Both can be found at crappy tire.

    Just spray it on, wait a few minutes and grab a cloth to rub it off. less effort
    When you have a thought... let it go.. just let it go and you move ahead of everyone else

    WD-40 and some scrubbing works.

    The fine from the city is well over $500 for that.

    Use some brake cleaner/carb cleaner and wipe it up with a rag.

    brake cleaner and kitty litter.

    thoroughly soak area with brake cleaner, then put kitty litter down and scrub area with a broom. Sweep the the kitty litter up and you are done.

    you could try bio-clean. its made by walter and is totally harmless to the environment. (i just happen to sell it at my work) the walter rep was actually on jay leno once with it after jay found out about it. ive used it myself on all sorts of spills and it works great

    You can always tell your gf to suck it dry.
