Default Cleaning Oil off tarmac??

Is there any way? just putting house up for sale but there is oil all over the drive where one of my drive-shaft seals let go one evening and caked the drive in oil!

All the stuff I have seen is for concrete only

Many Thanks

Adam

Paint the tarmac, or use a black printer cartridge ink to disguise it, you could have asked roosie, as my car is always leaving "deposits" there, but that's brickweave!!

Industrial strength de-greaser will do the trick - or try Autosmart Triple / Truckwash 66

(Alternatively try LOTS of washing up liquid and a stiff brush)
