Removing oil spots from concrete

For those pesky spots from "rare" oil drips from your meticulously maintained cars, there is a solution. Liquid Tide, or equivalent will draw the oil right out.

I have a concrete brick paver driveway and my wife has a fit over those spots. So I dribble a little liquid soap on the spot and let it sit. When it rains, the spot is gone!!

There was one occasion where I had to treat it twice, I had left the original oil spot untreated for over a month.

My garage floor is painted, so the oil just wipes right up.

I have had good luck with Dawn Power Dissolver.

Let it sit for awhile add a little more and then scrub like crazy.

I don't scrub, I just let the liquid soap sit there until it rains. The rain drops wash it away.

It may rain more often where you are.
Here it would just cook on the pavement.
I need help with my 2001 S60T5 - maybe you can help.
I'll be posting a new one momentarily.
