oil on pavement?
|
|
|
Hello
I have a stubborn tranmission fluid spot on the pavement in front of
the house.I tried water and washing soap but
unfortunately it helped very little if any so I spilled some gasoline
and scrubbed with a plastic brush.
It only made things worse -now spot is gone but the
area I scrubbed is darker though if you scratch it with razor a bit it
appears cean underneath the black tar(gsoline dissolved asphalt?)
Is there a way to remove it- I read people suggesting Amway concrete
cleaner , plain cement powder, wood seal etc?
thanks |

The sun and time will match the spot up. By then you may spill more
anyway. If its your property and not the public street, maybe it's time
for resealing. |

Gasoline mixes with asphalt but will eventually dry out again. |
