    anyone suggest a good, easy way to remove old oil stains from a cement
    driveway ? I tried water blasting but only had minimal effect. There used to
    be stuff called "liquid magnet" which was claimed to lift the oil from
    cement
    but no one seems to sell it.

  5. Kitty litter. It is super porous and will suck it out of the concrete.

  7. I think mine must have no oil in it because I woke up this morning to
    find clean concrete underneath it.

  9. chuck on a layer of cement, you know, that grey powdered stuff, straight
    from the bag. Spread it over the oil, the next day scrape it around a
    bit so fresh stuff is against the concrete.

    Cement is as porous as anything and will suck up lots of stuff in a few
    days.
