We have a very bad oil leak from a truck that was parked on our concrete drive. The truck is gone, and now we are trying to figure out the best way to work on removing the oil and stain. We have been told that we need to start working on it and just keep pressure washing it and scrubbing it. But with what?? What is the best process and product to use?

Simple Green, full strength. Pour it on, scrub, rinse, repeat if necessary.

OIL REMOVER:
http://www.hawthornedirect.com/chomp/how.html
CHOMP! is the first cleaner ever brought to the consumer market that will actually eat oil. CHOMP contains billions of Natural Oil Eating Microbes. Contains no dyes - this, along with being pH neutral, makes CHOMP safe for just about any cleaning job, on fabrics, woods, plastic, painted surfaces, nylon, rubber, all hard surfaces.
CHOMP! actually eats oil - use it on a leak spot on your garage floor or driveway, cooking oils on your kitchen cabinets, counters and appliances - CHOMP leaves nothing but water and carbon dioxide. Safe for the environment, CHOMP is the only cleaner that doesn't simply transfer problems downstream - CHOMP improves the environment by eating hydrocarbon contaminants.

Put cat litter on the oil and let set. Then brush with a broom until all oil is in the litter then throw the litter away.When you get as much as you can off with the litter use Dawn dishwashing detergent on the stain and wash thoroughly.

I start with Muriatic Acid,,,carefully. It's never failed me. Certainly there are brand name commercial degreasers available as well. Bleach will not do it, nor will DAWN, or Peroxide.
