I am not looking forward to that cleanup. I will probably do it after I move.

Y'know for how popular simple green is, does it actually work at all? We had a polka dotted driveway and tried using simple green and it didn't do jack crap for getting rid of all the coolant, oil, and other auto liquid stains in my driveway, and that was after letting it soak in nice and good and scrubbing it. Maybe like an industrial degreaser would work...

When Ryan had to clean his old driveway before he moved because of the massive ol/fuid stains, he got this stuff fomr work or my dad, can't remember. He put it on, let it soak, scrubbed the areas and pressure-washed it off, and it took most of the really nasty stuff out. There was still some stains, but for how much there had been it worked wonders. But this stuff was nasty, nasty crap. You couldn't even touch it without gloves, it would eat your skin. Worked though.

Right, we established that much, but why did they spray it on in the first place? I would've thought that'd be a factory thing, not something they put on after you already own the vehicle...
