Oil stains on drive

Go f*ck yourself.

I am sure there is somewhere a product dedicated to cleaning oil off concrete.

I am sure that what is called gunk, is not it.

I.M.E it will take time to completely clear the stain

Gunk is effective but can leave a nasty water based scum to clean away,

I quote from the container: GUNK driveway cleaner. Removes unsightly oil stains from driveways, paths and patios.

so, yes, it is Gunk.

OP here. Thanks everyone (well, almost everyone) for your helpful and constructive replies.

Just ordered some Jizer -- a bit expensive, but allegedly will do the trick without leaving residue. Will report back.

If that doesn't work, try this:

Meh, washing up liquid is cheaper and definately does the job and doesn't leave a residue. The only slight drawback is that it's not instant but I guess that only a problem for those precious about the look of their drive until the next decent bit of rain.

This is one situation where I wouldn't recommend WD40.
