Clean Up Oil Stains

I tried using some of those products on the market specifically designed to remove oil from stone and concrete. THEY DON'T WORK WORTH CRAP!!!

So i was fixing my brakes, had some brake cleaner, added up that it is meant to break down oils and leave no residue, sprayed on a fresh (2week old) stain. Freakin awesome!!! Like it was never there!!! Even worked pretty well on an older (2year) stain on the paving stones. Try it everybody. It is cheap and it works.
Post your results.

brake cleaner is nice but it cost an arm and a leg...

I usually use Oil-Dri brand...Vatozone carries it...

You can't just pour it on and hope it works thought...you have to move it around with a broom to absorb......then put a clean layer of oil dri down and use your foot to smash it into the concrete/garage whatever.....turns it bright white..

I use plain ol gasoline and floor dry. Works like a charm, and its pretty cheap (given that a gallon of the other stuff equates to about $15/gallon!)
