Use your mates face... it's ever so abrasive.
Or tip 20l of benz on the drive and burn it off.

The biological washing powder and nature works. Tested and worked successfully on garage forecourts and Porsche, Rover, BMW & VAG owners' drives.
Some Porsche guys use liquid washing "powder" diluted in a watering-can and water their drives, much to their neighbours' amusement.
It's a cheap, effective, low-labour solution with no potentially damaging chemicals.

Should work. Alternatively, before going for the 'spensive solutions empty half a bottle of fairy liquid on it use a bass broom and then hose away - then empty the rest of the fairy liquid on it, bass broom it again and then leave to let nature wash it away or if you are keen use the hose pipe/pressure washer again.

First move has to be a handful of cement dust if its dry and sweep it around, then GUNK engine cleaner on the rest. Good luck.

Cat litter followed by persil follwed by an hour of backache have cleared up the worst of it... giving serious through to just pouring oil on the rest...

I managed to dump the contents of the engine of my first car, on my mates drive, about 20 years ago. He's since moved house and the oil stain is still there. So are the 3 dents from the axle stand, after I left it for 6 months while I fecked off to the Balkans. No conselation I know, but there you are.

technique that worked for me, not sure if mentioned earlier.
First scrub in and then scoop/sweep up clay based kitty litter. Then scrub in powdered dishwasher detergent, cheapest the store has as you are not worried about crystal clear glassware. Moisten to a pastelike consistency and then let it sit for a couple of days, then repeat the detergent scrub. Also helpful is using a strong TSP based detergent such as house painters use to clean surfaces before painting.Nuair a chacann caora, cacann siad uilig
