Removing oil from driveway!
« on: April 21, 2005, 20:47:00 »
The 101 has been a little incontinent over the week, and surprise surprise, this 30-year-old Land Rover has lost a bit of oil over the nice, pristine block-paved parking opposite the house.

What will get the oil out of the paving?  I have some detergent stuff from the local garden centre, but it didn't seem to work well last time I tried.  Somebody once mentioned granules?

Thanks,
David

Pop to your local Halfords and buy some traffic film remover or TFR as its known.
Apply with a pump up style sprayer then jet wash away.
If you dont have a jet wash then spray onto oil and scrub with a stiff brush and hose away.
(remember to dilute TFR as it is quite strong)
Works for me
