Use a solution of washing powder and watch that concrete sparkle![:D]

Don't put it on the drive though as it takes up the tarmac.

When I was a valeter I decanted some wheel acid into a cup the handle had fallen off of to make it easier to apply by brush. Within 3 days it had eaten through the cup and turned the surrounding concrete green. The ball bearings in spray bottles used to last just one go. It was, unsurprisingly, a rather effective alloy wheel cleaner though.

The real answere to this is absorbent cat litter, if you put it on oil its soaks it all up, even after its seept into the concreat sometimes!

Tesc*'s cat litter is pretty good. It is the closest stuff to that I have used at work to mop up spilt fluids from Tornado F3's.
