Help! Car Oil Stains On Ashalt?

[hnooe]

OK, help me here.

An out-of-state friend of mine visiting recently parked on the asphalt street of my gated community. His 1990 Volvo 240 dribbled oil, and God know what else, onto the asphalt on the street....

I bought something at Home Depot to remove it, and it made it worse--spread the stains further!!

Any home grown or homemade recipes to remove oil stains on asphalt before I get fined by my community??

Throw some sand on it?

The big issue is that asphalt is, in a way, a petroleum based product. Any oil dripped will get into it quickly. Your best bet is a pressure washer...

Cat litter. (unused) That's what they use at the gas station.

That will work for anything that didn't soak in but not the stain...

You're right. With my luck, a cat would walk by and make itself at home.

...some how those two things don't go together.

I have friends in low places?

Fined for oil on asphalt. I'm sorry, I think I would have to move.

I have friends in low places?

Or, maybe a gated HOA in HIGH places?
