Driveway

Hi, Having had an oil leak ( which is now repaired ) I have an oil stain on my tarmac drive, what is the best means to remove it.
Many Thanks.

ScrewFix have cleaning products that should do the trick.
BTW I have no affiliation with them just a satisfied customer.

GUNK driveway cleaner will usually do the trick...

We had oil stains on block paving from my wife's old Audi and nothing really cleared those, even after repeated applications. But if you get the worst off they do weather & fade with time.

pour a can of coca cola over it, scrub with a stiff brush, rinse with water............ seriously, it works.

Cheaper than the proper stuff and works just as well.

Huge dollop of sugar and lots of Fairy Liquid - No water! You are trying to make it gluey.
Scrub in all directions with the stiffest hand brush you can get and then rinse away.

I would do something, I left a fair sized patch in the corner thinking it would weather out about a year ago, il take a pic tomorrow and show you it now, it's a massive crater, on concrete it's fine but not Tarmac, hence the reason for roads being resurfaced after tanker accidents , of course I only know this because I researched why there was a sink hole on my driveway.
