For oil messes the cheapest, gray colored kitty litter, or the dedicated oil
dry from auto parts store works, with some elbow grease. I use an old scrap
piece of 2 x 4 about 4 to 6" long, use the 2 x 4 like a scrub brush, pushing
the kitty litter into the concrete, and breaking it down into fine powder as
you go, will pull oil out of the concrete, sometimes it leaves a white spot
under the scrubbing. Then the typical concrete cleaner can be used (I never
get the oil up with the mystery chemical concrete cleaner). The 2 x4 scrub
brush with the cheap kitty litter, or oil dry works. Note, the more expensive
kitty little with colors and special crystals does not work like the cheap
stuff.

Subject: [Tigers] Oil mess on concrete
Hello
My wife's 1999 Audi A6 has p*ssed a lot of oil over along period of time
on my concrete garage floor. I know, tell her to park it
outside.......right..........
Anyway, I just had the thing fixed, and the leaks stopped.
I now want to clean up the mess. With the knowledge base we have in this
list-serve of leaky British cars, you folks must know some magic compound
that will clean it with minimal effort and hopefully low environmental
impact.
Please help and fire away. I'm sure many of us are faced with the same
dilemma.
