I have bunch of oil stains, and some rust stains all over the driveway:shaking:

I used some masonory cleaner and it work ok I think. I took majority of the oil stain out with my h20 power washer (3000 psi) but you still can see them (but its a ton better anyway). unfortunately the rust stains dont even give up and laughed at me! :(

What do you guys have up your sleeves that I can try to get the driveway to be 100% clean of stains? We need to get the house looking great before we put it up for sale so...

Muratic acid. Available at Home Depot, Lowes

We've used powdered Tide before and it worked ok, not sure if it'll take out what you have. But the muriatic acid usually takes pretty much anything out although you might have to scrub some.

Not sure if you can possibly find it where you live or not. We get ours through our chemical dealer. Its made by ZEP and its called B-2000. Its professional duty rust and grease remover. Its the best thing since sliced bread. Spray it on, let it foam up and rinse off

I have had good luck removing grease stains with diesel fuel and a hot water pressure washer, but I doubt that is epa compliant. And it might not do anything for the rust, either.
