Get it off? You don't want to do that. It is *WD-40*, man!

On the driveway it will prevent snowfall, reduce dust, make your car
go faster on less gas, keep your wife looking 17, and prevent balding.

Sun & weather should make it disappear in a week or two, though, so
you may need to run over another can.

[Soap & water won't touch it because it is doing what it does best-
displacing water.] Kitty litter or a powdered degreaser *might*
soak it up a little faster.

Ground up drywall works great on these kinds of stains. Works best if
you grind it into the concrete. I do this by parking my front wheels
on the stain and turning the wheels back and forth.

Dissolve it with gasoline then use a pressure sprayer.



DONT dump gasoline on the concrete,you'll wash it into the sewers,it gets
into the water table.

use kitty litter,absorb the WD-40. use TSP or it's substitute.

Lacquer thinner....In the past Klean Strip had a product called DC-13
Driveway Cleaner but, as usual, given a product that actually worked,
the EPA (or whoever) decided to ban it

Next time run over a can of liquidwrench or triflo; they are a more
appropriate driveway lubricant (WD-40 is NOT a driveway lubricant, as you
now realize).

I'll admit, that one totally went past me. I do apologize.
Sorry about that.

Cat litter, ground in with yer feet, and left to soak it up a day or
two. Worked well for me when neighbor spilled a quart of oil.

WD-40 is a great stain remover. Try it, you'll like it.

Dawn dish soap really is different. When I use it, all the little
wounds on my hands, that aren't totally healed, sting. No other dish
soap or any other soap did this to me.

Be careful with a powerwasher. It can do a lot of damage, ripping off
more than you want off. Start low and work up, iiuc.

You disgusting moron. You said "You will not stop until everything in
reach is clean." which was meant to or at least going to encourage some
people to do far more than the concrete. YOU should have been the one
to warn him how powerful the power washers are, how much damage they can
do, and I could have pointed out how stupid and thoughtless you were
after your first post. But now it's crystal clear.
