    All right, so I'm pulling this engine out the van my dad gave me and I just happen to spill ****** fluid all over the asphalt driveway. I tried to clean it the best I could but it still looks pretty bad. My wife is being cool but I can tell she isn't too happy about it. Does anyone know the best way to get rid of, or minimize the stain? Help!!! Save my marriage! -stick

    Get a digger in remove oil soaked area & re-lay with new, on a lighter note try some boiling water & detergent, oil pretty much soaks in on that surface its gonna take time.
    Unless someone knows better of course. [​IMG]
     
  4. After you get it cleaned it best you can, sweep some dry cement over it and wet down with water.

    A few applications a few days apart helps.

    Doesn't make it perfect, but it helps.
     
  5. Simple green and powdered laundry soap....

    [/ QUOTE ]The old "traditional" kind of cat litter, not the new clumping kind. (That's only for Integra spills.) [​IMG]
