I learned from the list last year that paint remover and kitty litter did a
fair job. 
I can attest to that to more than a little degree by the many fewer spots
on my driveway and garage floor.
Problem is the remaining speckles of kitty litter after I clean up the mass
of it. 

The neighboring cats use the litter as it was designed to be used.
