    i've been told that coca cola does the trick

    but i've never tried it myself so i cant speak from experience.

    Yep, kitty litter is great. We use to use it at work for all the oil stains from the Trucks.

    Petrol works well too we had a MASSIVE oil spill on our driveway (about 5 litres ) and its almost completely gone.

    just pour on, scrub well with a broom and rinse with the hose.

    Don't use coke. I tried it and it actually it made it slightly worse
    I think I'll try some truck wash myself

    I use degreaser If the stains are old u might have to do it a couple times.

    My sump plug was leaking and didnt notice for a few weeks, I used degreaser, gave it a scrub with a hard broom and hosed the excess off. Worked a treat

    I used talcum powder, it soaked everything up and the rest came off with a broom and a good scrub
