Cleaning oil stains

My son's car leaked on my garage floor (it's raw concrete) what's the best thing to clean with?

I recently used the OSR by quikrete, and was unimpressed. In the past I used lacquer thinner and had great results.

I like using carb cleaner...let soak...then wipe ...especially if its stained real good...other than that for a quick on the spot clean up...brake clean...

gas works well too...just be aware of the vapors and spark...

Laundry powder works surprisingly well. If a light stain remains it usually disappears after a couple of months of sunlight.

Sprinkle cement powder on top of the stain. Let it sit a day or so till it starts to discolor. Scrape off and reapply. Depending on how deep the oil is will determine how many applications you need to do. (Don't let the area get wet).

Dawn dishwater detergent has a degreaser in it that works OK. gene ec-Indy
