Well, my brother's niece moved away a few months after I made my initial post back in April 05, and the car's long gone, but thanks for your answer Ron.

I assumed one of those hurricanes had cleaned all the Texas driveways by now.
I added my comment to the old thread to aid anyone doing a search so they wouldn't have to comb through multiple threads. I think it is easier to have everything in one place.

Using any of the suggestions above to remove as much of thes stain as possible - buy a bag of concrete mix, wet the area (think slab not just stain) and sprinkle the concrete mix over the area. Using a shop broom, go with the grain of the slab sweeping excess mix off of driveway. Allow to dry and it will look like new. Don't buy the redi-mix with sand and stones.

At the old place this was a HUGE problem. the landlord wanted to kill us over the oil spots in the driveway. well I spend an entire weekend working on the driveway. I poured mercuric acid on the driveway, let that fume for a while then rinsed it off with the hose. i did this to the whole driveway because its an etcher, so i etched the whole thing. then i busted out the pressure washer. my dad has one he uses to strip pain off houses. so yeah... that thing did the rest. i did all the concrete so it all looked clean. I was very proud of my work. the house looked so nice!

Then the land lord still *****ed about my cars and the condition of the driveway. (which was now WAY cleaner then when I moved in.) so i bought my own house!

the driveway there is getting some spots on it. but i plan on etching it with the acid, pressure washing it, and then painting it with concrete sealer. I'm hoping that with the sealer on there I'll be able to clean up the spots with simple green and a garden hose.
