What's a cheap & easy way to get oil stains out of concrete?

WD-40 is an oil itself and will leave it's own oil spot.

 

take a couple sheets of newspaper..spread them out maybe 1 to 2 sheets thick covering the stain.pour just enough water on them to soak them pretty good and then leave alone till the paper is dry ...you may have to try a coupla of times .just be sure that when you wet the paper you run your hand over to make sure it's sticking to the floor

 

Coca-cola is supposed to remove oil stains, i haven't tried it myself though.

 

I agree with the Muriatic acid..Used it hundreds of times and never did it pit the concrete..Worst its done is made the spot a little lighter shade than the rest!

 

Kitty litter followed by bleach or detergent. Sometimes white vinegar helps as well.

 

Just read about somthing called "Pour-N-Restore" oil stain remover. Edgewater Industries. It was reviewed in Custom Rodder November 2004 issue.

 

I Dont think of cleaning up all that CHARACTER AND MEMORIES.........[Only in a real shop will you find those]
I think Ill put Black and White Tile up next.....[On the WALL about 4 feet high around the bottom of wall]-so I can keep it clean

 

I agree with choprods, clean floors mean nothing ever happens in the garage. Instead of drip pans I go to the local carpet store and they give me all the outdated carpet samples I can handle. The are about 18"X30". Slide 'em under the offending dripper and throw them away when the get too much oil on them. They come in colors to match your decore if your gay.

 

NO NEED TO HAVE THOSE LEAKS GUYS!!Our buddy-Paul Harvey-[News][closet hot rodder]
SAYS theres a new product that stops leaks....green leak get the green bottle-black leak -get the black stuf,Brown leak =brown bottle-you get the picture!!!

 

I left an oil stain on my driveway all summer once. I spilled about half a quart. When I got tired of it I cleaned it up with some fast orange hand cleaner. I scrubbed it into the texture of the concrete with a broom and sprayed it off with a hose. It was good as new!
