Oil on driveway

Yeah floor dry and work it in, broom it around walk on it and let it sit for a couple hours. Cleaned our driveway right up. We power wash ours too sometimes.
 
Broken wall board and oil dry, grind it in with your feet. If the stain is heavy, use mineral spirits first, then wallboard/oil dry over the top. Kitty litter is a waste of money, you can get a lot more oil dry for less money.

VERY true on the kitty litter. and YES you do get a lot more for you'r money with oil dry. but if you have a cat and some extra kitty litter laying around such as i do. you might as well use what you have and save a few bucks
 
so if i put some acid down and set it on fire i should be all set, right? :)

just tryed the acid seems like most of it came up.. maybe its time for some fresh stuff though, this is over 15 years old im sure.

Sounds like something I would do, and reminds me of my favorite Homer Simpson quote...

"Do you want it done right, or done fast?"

Poor some paint thinner, cheap stuff, and let it soak, then dump on the oil dry and grind it in. Give it a few days, keep walking on it. Then, what evers left ,either repeat, or use the acid. Gotta remember that the acid causes the concrete to get porous, which can cause chipping and flaking of the top surface, so use as little acid as possible
 
machinery coolant (the stuff used in cnc mills lathes grinders ect....) you will be impressed, took 30 years of oil , grease, chips and grime that had been ground into the ground by years of fork lift use right up, if ya wanna try it drop by my shop monday, just give me a call or text b4 ya head over.
 
i have had great luck with 'dri zit'.

I put it down good and thick, then 'grind' it in with my feet unitl the entire spot is covered / ground up.

Leave it down for a day or 2, then sweep it up.

I got 8qt's of trans fluid off the driveway this way.
