Dump some non clumping kitty litter on the oil and let it sit for a a day or two. I was told by a mechanic that it works.How do you get rid of car oil slicks on my driveway?
it depends on the kind of slick it is. if it's oil that has been there for a long time than the cat litter won't work. cat litter is only good for getting up fresh oil spill/slicks. the powder bleach will work pretty good. but i saw an infomercial for some stuff by that guy that invented oxyclean. it's another oxygen based product that is said to clean tough stains like that. if all else fails you can try coating your driveway in tar. it will cover old stains and make new stains almost impossible to see. you can do it yourself. when i was living in virginia i watched a guy tar the parking lot to his car lot and it took him about a week. i'm not sure how many coats you need, or how many he put down, but he did it in sections. your driveway should be a one day project.
some times if you grind the kitty litter in it will take out a stain but if its been there long time might need powder wash and then it might not come out
Kitty litter! Soaks it up and is easy to clean up.
Kitty litter to absorb


Dawn dish soap and elbow greese


Put a plastic container under your oil tank when you park
Pour kitty litter on it then sweep it Works good!
Try powder tide with bleach. I used that to clean my driveway(oil spots), porch(mold), and house. It will lighten up the stain, and after a while it will just fade away.
go to the store and buy the cheapest cat litter you can find. take a can or paper cup and pour a large pile off this on the oil spots allow to sit for a couple days then sweep with a stiff broom if this has not removed all of the oil push the litter back on the stain and using your self as a tool use old shoes and scuff back and forth the litter will break down keep at it for you will get the results you want in time
Power washer
Try pressure washing it. Those stains should come right out
