Michael,

I have successfully used both engine degreaser and brake cleaner.  If you
throw plain old kitty litter (the cheap stuff) on the spots every now and
then, the kitty litter soaks up the oil and the concrete doesn't!

Folks,  I need to get 1 or 2 spots of oil off the floor of my driveway.  OK
so it's really 10-15 spots and covers about 6 square feet.  I can't seem to
get it off.  We've tried that powery-pebbly stuff I can't remember the name
of (Dry-somethingorother).  And I've tried a pressure washer, and I've tried
muriatic acid.  Nada.  THe acid worked a little if I scrubbed it with a
scrub brush really hard for a long time.

Any ideas?

Michael
