Getting oil off a tarmac drive.

[rushts]

Anyone got any advice?

My drive has got a few patches on and i want to get rid of them. I've seen some tarmac paint on ebay to re-colour but i dont want to do this for the oil to still show through.

Thanks :-)

I've got oil on my drive as well

Try earwax. I'm using Olive oil to get rid of earwax, so it might work in reverse.

impossible i'm afraid.
live with it or re-top it.

I would try something that will absorb the oil. Sand or cat litter. Alternatively there are industrial products on the market that would do the job.
Try screwfix

Extreme US led napalm bomb runs. Probably best to get a square mile evacuated to avoid friendly fire casualties

Get in touch with your local Irish tinkers/travellers/gypos/pikeys (choose your own term of endearment!). They'll resurface your drive for you; do a good price as well Sir!

Wait until yer get a knock on the door and some guy tells yer they are just in the area and happen to have 5 billion tons of tarmac left and would yer like that oil stain sorting.

Park your car over it.

I've used swarfega driveway cleaner in the past, mines not Tarmac but cobble setts though but it worked great on that. It's under a tenner so probably worth a try.
