    Question Oil stains in driveway

    So the dreaded phone call happened. My real estate wants to do another inspection.

    My mums car has been leaking oil on my driveway whenever she comes over so now theres a big stain and i know they go ape over that kind of stuff.

    Whats the best way to get rid of it?

    If it is pooled you can use kitty litter (just the cheapo stuff) and grind it in (pop some boots on first) and then maybe some dishwashing detergent with a wire broom/brush.
    There are commercial products you can buy at Mitre 10/Bunnings too.
    Good luck!

    Try truck wash and warm water if you can get a hold of a gerny, gerny it first pour some truck wash on it scrub it with a broom and then gerny again thats what we do

    Yep, I was going to suggest exactly what Mak said. We've had great success with that.

    i've been told that coca cola does the trick

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