Oil Remover?

Is it really necessary to remove it? Oil evaporates eventually.

Well, depending on how thinly it is spread... months? It will probably erode quickly enough due to rain, wind, and activity on the driveway before it evaporates though. It's also not particularly harmful, what's the problem?

Kitty litter?

the probelm is that half the drive way is dark the other is not

 

[BDawg]

If the driveway is dark, it's been absorbed in. I don't know if you can get it up then. Maybe try so motor oil cleaner from an auto parts store.

 

[SagaLore]

Mix baking soda and dishwasher detergent, add a tiny bit of water to make it pasty. Spread on oil spot. Let sit for a few days, then hose it off.

Would a pressure cleaner clean this?

lol then I will have darker spots

I will try what SagaLore said. Are you sure this works? Ill try it any ways

 

[voodoojc]

Try engine degreaser sprays.

Dude...bonus...since it's EXTRA VIRGIN, all the cracks in your driveway will close up!!!

Any decent degreaser or even dish soap should do a decent job of removing most of it...there will probably be some residual in the pores that won't come up right away, but should weather away over the course of the year...a pressure washer may help, but I suspect you'll still have some kind of a spot for a while anyway.

 

[imported_Scourge]

Just go buy another container of the stuff and cover the rest of your driveway. Cost less, takes less time, etc. Win/Win

Plus, who doesn't want a darker driveway?

 

[Heisenberg]

Kitty litter or commercial pavement degreaser.

Dish soap has grease cutter in it. Take some Dawn to that Sh!t.

 

[compuwiz1]

I guess the driveway is no longer a virgin.

Use dawn, and a brush, as already said.
