stained driveway

[norachelhere]

For some reason, my car decided that it didn't want to hold oil anymore, and dumped a considerable amount all over my parents driveway. They are all kinds of anal about that sort of stuff. I guess I would be too if I paid what they did for their paver driveway.
My first thought was to purple power it, but I'm worried that will just end up setting the stain in worse...
Any suggestions on how to clean up grease/oil stains on a paver driveway?

thanks

thats kind of tough, ive never really had very good luck getting that stuff out.
Obviously, first off soak up the bulk of it with kitty litter or whatever else you wanna use.
Then, what i did, is pressure wash what was left. That took quite a bit of it out. I never got all of it to go away, but like i said, you can get most of it...

go to the paver store and pull up the old and put down the new.

acid should do some good. you have any pics of this paver drivway ?

[paul kersey]

yeah, acid stuff.
you might end up having to do the whole thing so it all matches.
re etch the cement or whatever.

i hate power washing cause my driveway is long as fuck and it looks retarded if you dont do the whole driveway

at work they clean it with acid + scrub brush but it can leave holes in the concrete

you can buy it at lowes for 21.31

LOL i used to have this problem all the time with my old jetta. damn thing leaked oil like crazy. but i used to use acid and then spray it off with a hose. my dad was always a dick about the oil spots.

it's muratic acid and can be purchased from pool chemical places like pinch a penny. Be careful if you go this route...

they have this stuff, it comes in a jug about the size of purple power. it says "driveway cleaner" on it. i did a tranny swap and spilled trany fluid all over my driveway and that shit took it right up. just pored it and worked it in with a broom and rinsed it off.
