    My cousin accidentally forgot to unplug the oil container and dropped every bit of oil from his car during an oil change, on my drive way, a week before my home was going on the market. I was dying inside. We used an oil absorbing sand, tried other chemicals but the stain was still extremely noticeable. I saw this video and ran to Home Depot. Bought 5 bottles, let it sit for 12 hours and prayed. It freaking worked!!!!! It’d describe it as almost a bleach for concrete. Whatever it is, I’m sooo happy and my cousin can come back out from hiding.

    i'm a bit confused. at the 36 second mark when you are pouring the cleaner in the spray bottle it appears to be clear. yet at the 1:31 mark when you pour it straight onto the driveway it is a white paste. are you using 2 different products? it looks as if it's coming from the same container

    Great to see this after the day ive had! I moped up nearly a quart of used diesel engine oil from the corner of my driveway and used degreaser and 1500 psi pressure cleaner. All of this took it down 50 percent but the stain is still highly visible although you could eat from it. Next step was finding the goof off concrete cleaner which is on the stain this minute. I found this youtube video and have a little more peace of mind!

      I’m even later to the discussion, but the guy at the auto parts store recommended liquid laundry detergent on the stain and then oil absorbent on top and then let it sit for a day. Worked like a charm. Only problem is now I have a really, really clean spot on the driveway. Trick is to let it sit as long as possible (days, not hours).

      I've been retired for about 5 years, I've pretty much done about everything you can imagine but I was taught as a kid that you give an honest days work for an honest days pay. I just cannot get over how many people are just so damn lazy today. Seriously, some people are so lazy if someone set them on fire, they'd wait until someone else put them out. I paid the post office 12.00 for a two day delivery of a birthday card. It took 28 days to travel 800 miles. Why does a 2 day air delivery envelope sit in one location for 5 to 8 days? I applied for a homestead exemption on March 13th, on April 12th, it's still pending review. God, I hope my house doesn't catch fire, I could celebrate several birthdays before the fire truck showed up. Is it me? or does it seem like everyone is using the scamdemic as an excuse to do nothing ?

    • @DIYMAN
      @DIYMAN  3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      There’s no doubt, people are lazier now than they’ve ever been. That’s why companies like GrubHub are so successful. People are willing to pay $20 extra for their food just so they don’t have to drive 5 minutes to get it. Then they wonder why $30k isn’t enough money to live on. And you are absolutely right, this “pandemic” has made them even worse because they have more money in their pockets that they can use to further this laziness.

    A great tip would be to fix oil leaks on our vehicles as they leave a trail everywhere you take them secondary to that using a chemical to clean them up only increases the contamination of our groundwater just like the oil leaks on our vehicles.
