driveway stains suck. get some degreaser and let it sit on tthere and then pressure wash it.

Heh heh, When I changed my coolant. I drained all the coolant down the driveway, hosed it down real quick so the neighbors wouldn't see. And then about a week later there was a big ass rusty colored stain. Still there to this day, as well as oil from my bro's car. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

I got some stuff at Monument when I spilled 7qts. of oil in the garage and it went all the way down the driveway. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) It was in a small plastic container and it was a grainy orange powder. Once it hit the oil it turned this bright green color. It worked wonders. It is similar to what Brian mentioned. Just go to an auto part store and tell them what you did. They will give you something that will work.

Use acid then power wash the driveway afterwards.

if you got it when it was wet, kitty litter works just as well as that stuff from kragens. I have had 5 qts of oil soaked up by two 3$ bags of kitty litter.
