Oil remover for my drive

  1. Whats the best stuff to use to get oil off my Tarmac drive?
     
  2. Any dispersant , try just hot soap water (Washing up liquid) it floats it off and disperses it.
     
  3. As oil and Tarmac are essentially the same thing it will be near impossible to completely remove. Get some oil dry granules and leave them on for a few hours, tread them in after a while and it will be better
     
  4. Coke? Yeah seriously!!
     
  5.  
  6. Washing power :)
    Works great
     
  7.  
  8. If it's a recent spill and still wet, any absorbant powder. Try plaster or cement.
     
  9. Gunk degreaser will get most of it off but it'll take a while for the stain to go.
     
  10. I normally use washing-up liquid and a stiff yard brush... give it a good flush with some water, and it'll disappear after a couple of months
     
  11. Neat Washing Up Liquid and some elbow grease!
