Default Biggest Oil Spill Ever!!!

Soo... My 2 year old son decided to play with the remote to my car alarm and some how managed to remote start my integra which had the oil feed braided hose removed for some upgrades earlier today. Now this occured while i was taking a nap... Luckily i always leave the car in neutral otherwise not only would id have to clean up 3 quarts of used oil, but id have to take my car to the bodyshop and fix the garage door as well. Thank god i have a straight pipe, cus the noise woke me up as soon as it started.

His mother was cooking and didnt realize what little ayden was doing until i ran out the room looking like hornets where chasing me. I knew what to expect from the moment i woke up, so i grabbed a few old towels on my way out. But it was too late...

Most of the oil had already shot out the block and streamed down the firewall onto the cement and was running down the driveway like a river of HOLY SHITT!! My car didnt suffer since i shut it off in time but my driveway looks like i killed a robot and dragged him all the way to the sewer.. Anyone know how to clean these oil stains off the cement?? Degreaser did NOTHING!! HELP!

Pressure washer for sure! But I need something that can decompose the oil under the cement.

go to home depot, and i think its in the pressure washer / paint isle, its called "drive up"
stuff works like a charm, cleans it right away, but watch for your hands, that shit will burn like a mofo.
