At first I was skeptical of this stuff. Saw them use it on the speed channel & wanted to try it. Supposidly, you apply it (as a liquid) to an oil/grease stain, & it will disolve the oil & remove the stain. After a few hours it drys & you sweep it away as a powder. Only works on concrete. Dont try it on blacktop, it will disolve it!!

Had a nice oil stain (one of many) on my driveway for cars leaking oil/fluids over the years. Mainly motor oil from my sisters old mini van & my '93 leaking power steering fluid.
I started with a 32oz bottle I got for just under $20 shipped. I cracked it open and immediatly noticed it smelled like fast orange. Your supposed to apply this with an applicator. Which resembles a bondo applicator with different sized "V" shaped groves cut on 3 sides.

The pics speak for themselves.
Original stain with a test spot.

After the rains washes some of the powder away it is clear where it was applied. (put a pretty heavy coat on the test spot it)

Pretty noticable difference. Like mentioned above I spread it to thin, trying to cover the whole stain (which I wasn't able to do anyway). There are 3 different thickness levels when using the "Pour-N-Restore" applicator. You can see where the stain was concentrated from all the different leaks over the years.
They recomend a 2nd application if the 1st doesnt total remove the stain. I might buy a whole gallon of this stuff to finish off that big stain and tackle the others on my driveway.
Overall. I'd say for anyone with those ugly oil stains on your driveway or garage floor, give this stuff a shot.
