stained driveway

[username1]

And where do you get this "driveway cleaner" you speak of? An auto parts store? Wal-Mart?

why can't you just pick out and turn over the oil stained pavers? Good asss new!!! jsut a suggestion...not sure how easy they are to come out and flip over but from my understanding, i thought they were just placed on top on sand...nothing glueing them down!

the problem is, pavers have a top and a bottom. the tops are bevelled (sp?) a little bit to make it look better... they aren't like normal bricks...
Otherwise, I would so do to that, they are a bit of a pain to pull up though, but worth it if you're hiding stains...

I'm in the process of trying to find it. I asked the people at the parts store by my house and they looked at me like I was crazy...
Their suggestion was purple power mixed with dawn/dish soap. A good scrub. A good soak, then pressure washing it...

Where can you get the Driveway Cleaner stuff at?

good luck, ive tried everything. i did the same thing to my moms pavers. i tired pressure washing, driveway cleaner, acid, purple power. so far nothing has worked. i was told the only thing to do is to flip the pavers over.

Yeah, I'm hoping for at least 80% clean... I know that 100% isn't going to happen, but I'm shooting for not being able to see it from the road...
ya know...

what color is the driveway? hers was dark red and it was still really noticable. from the gear oil to the rust spots it displayed all my past cars marks

you buy it home depot or lowes, its in the cleaning chemical isles. its a bit pricey around $11 though.

these people dont realize the difference with pavers and the regulr concrete. I really think the only way to get rid of it is to replace them. there really not that expensive for just a handfull of them. You can try pressure washing them and stuff if you want.
