[Tigers] Oil mess on concrete

[rab65tiger at aol.com]

 For oil messes the cheapest, gray colored kitty litter, or the dedicated oil
dry from auto parts store works, with some elbow grease.  I use an old scrap
piece of 2 x 4 about 4 to 6" long, use the 2 x 4 like a scrub brush, pushing
the kitty litter into the concrete, and breaking it down into fine powder as
you go, will pull oil out of the concrete, sometimes it leaves a white spot
under the scrubbing.  Then the typical concrete cleaner can be used (I never
get the oil up with the mystery chemical concrete cleaner).  The 2 x4 scrub
brush with the cheap kitty litter, or oil dry works. Note, the more expensive
kitty little with colors and special crystals does not work like the cheap
stuff.

Hello



My wife's 1999 Audi A6 has p*ssed a lot of oil over along period of  time

on my concrete garage floor. I know, tell her to park it

outside.......right..........

    Anyway, I just had the thing fixed, and the leaks  stopped.

I now want to clean up the mess. With the knowledge base we have in this

list-serve of leaky British cars, you folks must  know some magic compound

that will clean it with minimal effort and hopefully low environmental

impact.



Please help and fire away. I'm sure many of us are faced with the same

dilemma.
