Oil stain removal

[OdessaS13]

so i far i found threads saying to use some acid to get that shit out of the concrete.

is there any thing that kragen sells to get 1-2 week stains out from concrete.
Simple Green and Oil Degreaser don't seem to be working for me. I tried simple green+ scrubing + hot water but still a no-go

anyone have luck getting oil out from concrete: rember that the oil isnt wet anymore, its been sitting for a week or so

Put a layer of dry cement on it, leave it for a day or two and sweep it away. That usually works for me, but I do this right after I do my oil change. I never tried this a week after, but maybe it'll work. If not you can try scrubbing with gasoline.

Edit: Try carburetor cleaner.

You coudl get some brake parts cleaner from wall mart. spray that stain then wash it off with a hose. thats what i'd do.


OR call EPA they'll take care of that. they're so great :axe:

I use this stuff called Oil Eater. I get it from Costco. It works great. I suggest it.

Word.

What I do is I use it straight, it says to dilute it with water, but fuck that. I just pour some from the big bottle into a spray bottle. I then spray it onto the are and let it sit for like 10 minutes. Then I take a wire brush, like the ones used to clean grills, and go at it. Then I spray it again and brush. Then I rinse it off.
