This is NOT a smart-a**ed answer, but concrete, especially new concrete is very porous. If you want it to look good long term, you need to seal it. I've had a lot of success cleaning spots with Tide. moisten the concrete and sprinkle the Tide on and let it set for a while. Work it around with a scrubby pad of some sort. The problem is that with the porosity of the concrete, the oil has leached down into it for a quarter inch or so. Other option is to leave it alone. after a year or so it will blend in. Yes, I used to own a janitorial service.

Sorry about this but I don't know who else to ask. My '87 GL has developed a small power steering leak. Drops a spot about the diameter of a tennis ball when it is parked after use. Bad enough, but how do you get the stain off the concrete driveway? I have tried two different driveway cleaners and several home brews but nothing seems to work. Forget the $450 for the power steering, the driveway just cost me $6000 ! Your help please. [text/html]
