Its a bitch to remove.

I found petrol and lots of scrubbing the best solution.

If its slabs,you could always just turn them over.

I used fair liquid and sure it was washing powder or something, then give it a good scrub. Did a decent job aswell

[logic_guy]

Why do people always go for the DIY cleaning materials.

Serious.. you all need to own a gallon of this stuff. It IS amazing!!!! It will clean ANYTHING. Add a few bottle tops to a water squerter and add water.

I cleaned my engine with it, I clean a truck engine with it, I clean a generator with it. I got oil off my drive and i clean under my car with it:

Well worth it, far better then gunk!!!!!

[Prickle]

washing up liquid, its a no brainer.












LOLOLOL.

Shout at it ..

[vtr_steve_]

ive used a heat gun before
650 degrees celsius did the trick nicely

[stevenet15]

scruib it with some petrol then pressure wash it, then once its dry get some concrete dust and scrub that into it with a hard brush, allways done the trick for me on old weathered in oil stains
