I figured this is s good spot for this. My driveway is **** and I've let oil leak on it. Recently I didn't notice the oil leak at the block so it poured a good bit out before I did. It's a lot of oil on it.

This is a trick we used pressure washing oil stains at a bank we did once a month.

Now I use degreaser and laundry powder soap.
Purple power from Walmart and gain. Use what you want.

Poured degreaser on firt then powder soap

Then scrub with shop broom adding degreaser as needed till it gets nice and dirty. Lrt sit a bit then pressure wash it. My pressure washer took a **** about half way through. It wasn't dry so I'll post a pic tomorrow of it.

Never thought of a rock driveway or crushed cement in pretty cheap. Just get rid of the mud you have to walk thru when it rains. Think I'm gonna do that on the side of the house.

Maybe one day. I can't just have gravel put down. I need to level the entire area, add some drainage, have gravel put down and then pave it. Believe it or not, it's easier for me to work in grass than on gravel. So any improvement is going to snowball and it will be a whole ordeal, lol.

Awesome dually! I've owned a Dodge dually diesel 4x4 which was nice. But always wanted a square body dually. Preferably single cab 4x4.

At home she's parked on gravel. At work on pavement, in the same spot each day, no stains present. But here is a tip, if you are ever dealing with old oil stains on concrete, or oil that has dried into concrete, or you don't have pressure washer and there is still staining after a good scrubbing hit it with oven off.

Start on a dry day, a warm to hot day is best. cover the stain in oven off and let it sit for a bit. Don't let it dry out but leave long enough to work, I'd say 10 to 30 minutes depending on temperature and how bad the spot is. Then lightly scrub, and hose off. It works really well, the biggest down fall I've seen is that if it's old concrete that has darkened though the years you may end up with a slightly lighter spot where the stain was.
