Oil drips on tarmac, DIY or specialist?
Discussion
My brand new car dripped diff oil on my tarmac drive. The dealer has said that if I get a quote to sort it they will pay, however I can find no one locally that will do the job (Nottingham).
I am tempted to have a go myself with Fairy liquid and a brush, but don't want to make matters worse.
Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a professional tarmac cleaner?
I remember a few years ago, I was helping at the OH's dad with a few oily bits on his car. I remember he dripped oil over his drive and he showed me a trick on how to remove it.
He got a wire brush and a can of normal coke cola. He poured a little coke on the oil and strubbed it with the brush and the oil disappeared.
Good trick to no, if you take pride in your driveway or garage etc.
Hope this helps!

Does diet coke work do you suppose? Or does it need sugar in it for some reason?He got a wire brush and a can of normal coke cola. He poured a little coke on the oil and strubbed it with the brush and the oil disappeared.
