Default Need Oil Slick Service

Any service recommendations for someone who cleans oil spots on your driveway? We had a pizza delivery on Monday where we believe the person delivering parked on our driveway and left a black present about the size of a volley ball when he left.

I have a couple of DIY techniques if you can do them.

1. Put some cat litter on the spot.

2. Spray some Tide Shout on it and scrub with a stiff brush. Hose it down. Repeat several times.

3. Call the pizza company and let them know what their driver did and ask them to have it cleaned.

Thanks, but I was looking for someone to hire because I can't do it myself and none of the several suggestions I found in doing a Google search seemed as easy as just spraying something on and then spraying it off and have the stain gone afterward!

p.s. I won't rule our giving Simple Green a try though!

It is used by auto detailers to clean engines, many car clubs recommend it.

I want to publicly thank you for providing the information you did in your PM to me. When we see so few posting by a member like you have, we tend to be cautious about the information we're given.

I did check him out though online and proceeded to contact David dispite that initial hesitation we had. He came to our home shortly thereafter and we went over what we were looking to have done, including some things we weren't looking to have done, and we liked him (although we can't vouch for his work yet) and what we learned from him and about him. He spent quite a bit of time with us discussing more that just the work we've setup for him to do and he even suggested a few things he could do about some minor things we weren't even thinking of.

MW1, I know you've posted the information about him in another thread, but want to give it again here as well as ease the minds of anyone else who had the same concerns as we did. Here's the info:
