Muratic acid is not really a cleaner. What it will do is open all the pores of the concrete to help release any stains but if you don't seal it after wards your concrete will start to deteriorate because all the creme that was on top is now very porous.
What have you tried so far? Tell me what you have tried and maybe I can give you a few other tips. -

Yea, the acid should be your last option! We use that stuff at work to eat concrete outa pvc pipes that we lose when they are pouring floors for or electrical runs. Works like a dream, but yea it'll do more harm than good I'm thinking. -

surround the stain with oil-dri or kitty litter, make a circle around it, get a few cans of brake parts cleaner, and liberally spray it on the stain. after a couple cans you should be able to see that the stain is "lifted" from the concrete. while the concrete is soaked with the brake parts cleaner spread the litter or oil-dri over the now soaking area. (disclaimer: this may make your neighbors think something is wrong with you) stand on top of the litter that has been liberally spread over the stain and do the twist with your feet. completely cover the stained area doing this. do this for a few minutes. you will notice that the oil-dri or litter will start to become a powder. after you notice this let it sit for a few hours. after letting it sit go inspect a small spot and see if the concrete is still wet from the cleaner. if it is "dry" sweep up the litter and dispose of it properly. if stain is still there but is better looking than before repeat the process again. i normally use gasoline instead of brake parts cleaner but that is up to you. -

Ok its an exposed agrigate finish so no nice creamy top finish. So far I have tried 3 diffrent driveway cleaners, laundry soap(the nasty mexican stuff) , brake parts cleaner( wich helps the surface stuff) simple green. I did acis wash it about a year ago and it helped, almost perfect results. But I know it eats the concret, and did make it more rough!
I did find this stuff called pour and restore, bit it doesn't look like it would work on rough finish concrete!
Has anyone tried hot/steam pressurewashing for this? I have a customer with a hotwater setup. My driveway is 8" thick concrete for delivery trucks so it kinda expensive to replace!

Yeah that was a thought too, and @ 1.90 a gallon its cheaper than a 3.00 can of brake cleaner! Or just park my motorcycle over it while I start it! -
