Well the thing I have found to work the best is spray on brake/parts cleaner. Spray it on the spot and then us a old stiff bristle brush and brush it a little with it still wet with brake cleaner, and then spray the spot again and that should work pretty well. Just do one spot at a time and it should fix your problem. It saves my drive way all the time when people come over with leaks and leave spots. Well hope this helps, good luck.

I am going to be looking into this as well as my driveway has spots. Im sure Homedepot has some solutions.
I was thinking heavy duty engine degreaser and a firm bristle scrub brush/ broom. Then hose off.

Used it on the garage floors and concrete outside before we tiled it. It just takes TIME. No comment on the kitty litter, okay I will.. it's just like spilling paint on the carpet and just throwing a newspaper over it. It's not going to do anything.

Yeah I think that is the same acid that they give you when you prep your garage floor when you apply that epoxy garage floor paint It was sweet your pour on the acid/water solution and then watch your whole floor bubble as the acid ate all the **** away. Garage floor looks nice plus oil and stuff will not stain anymore.
