Removing oil stains from the concrete driveway?
Recent visitors had a vehicle parked in our driveway for several days, and without realizing that they had an oil leak, it left a couple of oil stains in the driveway. I tried cleaning them with a concentrated cleaner which helped somewhat but didn't take the stains out altogether. Can anyone suggest a better way to get it cleaned up? Thanks!

Re: Removing oil stains from the concrete driveway?
It sounds strange but Coca-Cola (not Pepsi) will frequently do the trick. In my old house, I used Oxyclean, scrubbed with that and it got some of it. Coke did the rest. Pour it on, let it sit for about 30 minutes, scrub away.

Cat Litter - grind it in with your shoe
Anyone know how to remove tire dressing white stains - my son washed the car about five years ago in the driveway and the tire dressing dripped onto the concrete and stained it white.
