I Need to do that my car spews oil, petrol and steering fluid all over my drive!! :hellfire:I don't know if anything lifts the black oil stains??

Used to be able to get a drive and path cleaner from "Gunk" supposed to get all the oil stains etc out, NOT the "Gunk" engine cleaner 'cos that leaves marks on concrete.!

as rav says - Gunk do one for drive cleaning - you could also try water washable nitromors - usually for paint - but will also go for oil too.
