I let it sit now i have a huge oil stains in my garage. What is the best way to get them out?

 

you should have poored kitty litter on it while it was fresh...you could still try it but, it may take some detergent and a lot of elbow greese to get it off now..

 

try soaking it with degreaser...worth a try.

 

Rent one of those ultra high pressure water hoses, it took oil off my driveway and the paint of the garage door.

 

would simple green work?

 

Use engine grease remover. It'll suck that stuff right off the ground.

 

The kitty litter idea previously suggested would be a good idea. Another good idea is a detergent called Clout. It says right on the tub that it is designed to do industrial type laundry and that it is formulated to soak up oil spills.

 

yah, i had some degreaser in the 5 gallon jug. I tried that but its not doing the trick. Kitty litter isn't going to work since its soaked into the concrete.

My car's head wasn't on right so i dumped like 6 quarts onto the floor. Remember to replace head bolts when replacing the head. Also prep them with oil.

I will try the clout. And will keep kitty litter handy next time.

 

The best way to get it out is with laundry detergent(the powder kind) and a vinyl bristled brush. Pour the detergent on the spill, add water and scrub away comes off like magic. This really works, I **** you not.

Laundry detergent also works to clean your hands when your out of JoJo (or is it GoJo?) hand cleaner. *Sidenote* If you have little scratches on your hands or wrists from wrenching on cars, the detergent will burn like a ****.

 

another good one is to spray oven cleaner down on the stain and cover it with kitty litter then place a sheet of plywood or something over it and park the car on it. I used to have a piece o crap firebird and this method kept the driveway clean and neat.

 

When puttin in oil, wouldnt you have noticed the huge puddle, especially after 4 quarts why did you add 2 more????

 

I was trying to find where it was leaking.

 

This isn't completely helpful, but there is a product out there that is for cleaning oil stains from concrete specifically, I just can't remember the name right now. You can probably get it at the auto parts or maybe Wally World. I have used it before back when I had vehicles that leaked oil. It's a really nasty chemical though.

 

i have never seen a walley world.

 

Sorry, Wally World = WalMart
It's probably just a Texas Thing.

 

okay, that clears it up
