Oil-B-Gone is great

I've only used it for dirt, oil, and coolant, haven't tried tranny fluid

Dawn dishwashing liquid and a pressure washer.
Put down the Dawn and some water, scrub the floor with a stiff bristle broom, rinse with pressure washer and pick up the water with a wet vac

one of my local shops had it. I did a quick search at Lowes, Home Depot, and Advance Auto and none of them had it. It may be something to special order. PITA

I have seen products at Home Depot that you pour onto a spill and it dries up into a powder, my father says it works but i ave never tried it. sorry
