I USE BRAKE CLEANER WITH PAPER TOWELS IMMEDIATELY. IT WETS UP AND RELEASES INTO THE PAPER. I LOVE MY DRIVEWAY, ALMOST AS MUCH AS MY TRUCK.

There is a product called Citrikleen....its is hands down the best degreaser Ive ever seen. Its also biodegradable, non toxic and wont hurt your driveway.

i've tried muriac acid, i've tried dish soap, i've tried purple power, i've tried brake cleaner, kitty littter, a torch, carb cleaner, drive way cleaner. noting worked on stains i've had in my drive way. they were a few years old and just getting bigger.
the best thing i have ever used, and the only thing that ever actually worked, was "pull it out" made by chomp

it works great, just pour it on spread with a broom if neccessary, wait untill it's dry then sweep it away with the stain. it's taken fresh to 8 year stains away with out a problem

i uses to use a product called Concrete Cleaner or Driveway Cleaner, bought it at HomeDepot. It cam in a little 16 oz jug, it was a concentrate, and it made 5gal. worked great. Havent looked since i moved out, but worked great. I just got a stiff push broom and and a light scrubing. My mom's drive way came out great, looked like new.

GET G-Clean 12 oz. Concrete Cleaner and Degreaser (6.97),

Latex-ite 1 qt. Powerwash Driveway Cleaner and Degreaser (this one is a power-wash bottle) (9.96)
the Latex-ite sounds like the one i have used, just updated.
Both at Home Depot

The best most economical , most effective cleaner for grease id Dawn detergent and a squirt bottle of water . It's great for your plumbing pipes especially your kitchen . Good old friendly advice from an old *** plumber . Oh , for the EPA people , it's safe for the duckies from oil slicks . Think about it
