What do you use to clean up oil stains on concrete/driveway? I want to get this cleaned up before I seal it. Thanks

I used a pressure washer. Did a pretty good job.

Concrete is really difficult because it acts like a sponge.

Most concrete sealers I have seen in the past have recommended degreaser to use prior to treatment.

Auto Parts stores also sell specialized products for the task. I used a spray I got from the auto parts store and it worked decently. Nothing will get 100% of the stains out.

I use Tide soap with stiff push broom. Then I use acetone on the rough spots.
